The initial deployment is very easy; it's actually one of the best. Even before Puppet, we used to have one script that we used to run. The server was commissioned and then we'd run the script. Now we don't even have to do that because it's part of our image. 

For this reason, any new servers that we build already have Puppet installed. As it's part of our template, all we have to do is push the template and the new server automatically starts communicating. It pulls everything that it needs from the Puppet server directly.

Deployment takes around 10 minutes per server. Our servers get the base policies first and then we can assign the role — the policies are based on their role. It takes roughly two to three runs through Puppet to get all of the policies in place. It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty straightforward.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

The initial setup was really simple and straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward and takes a couple of days to complete. Two people are required to deploy the solution.

No. It needed management infrastructure and needed HW procurement.

The initial setup was not too complex. You need to have a good vision about how you want to implement it across the organization and the use cases. If you have that in place, then you can implement it with relative ease. The installation of it is straightforward, so you just need to follow the documentation and the steps.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. I reviewed some of the videos on YouTube and they helped a lot for implementation.

Well at the beginning it was kind of complex. Because you had a lack of knowledge. So we would have to read a lot. Test many things, the configuration. After training, we saw things more clearly. We got to change the approach when they were working on. But no, it wasn't very complex. There's a lot of knowledge that you need to read in the documentation. There were no issues if someone with experience pitched the things together. 

It was a learning curve. Not too hard. It's more like a not too high, not too low. It was a small learning curve.

I found the setup to be quite simple and easy.
