So, this really depends on what you mean by 'provisioning'. It's a common word but invariably means different things to different people in different organisations 'provisioning' different things. Ritesh, if you'd like to expand on what exactly you're attempting to do then I'm sure the responses will be clearer and more relevant. But as an overview for everyone: Razor is a bare metal provisioning tool from Puppet, so if you're provisioning from bare metal it's definitely worth looking at https://docs.puppet.com/pe/latest/razor_intro.html You mention VM's specifically, at which point it depends on the hypervisors/platform. There are different modules for the some different flavours here, for instance: AWS - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-aws vSphere - https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/vsphere (note that this is only available for Puppet Enterprise customers) Azure - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-azure There is also the puppet-virt module mentioned above which has some support for Xen and KVM and the like: https://github.com/carlasouza/puppet-virt The modules tend to focus on exposing VMs as Puppet resources. This means you can use the Puppet command line tools to launch or manage VMs, but more interestingly you can also describe them in Puppet code and have a code-first provisioning workflow which is great for auditability and understanding your infrastructure.
