Or, as community activists would have it, Perforce forked Puppet, and the community is just restoring the open source project.
When Luke Kanies created Puppet in 2005, a server configuration and management tool, no one knew what DevOps was because the term hadn’t been defined yet. Infrastructure as Code was still years away. Puppet would become a leader in both. However, Puppet would miss the Kubernetes boat, and Perforce acquired Puppet in 2022.
From the point of view of open source Puppet developers, things started to go wrong. Now, the community has had enough, and it has decided to fork Puppet.
