The Vox Pupuli collective group has introduced the primary launch of OpenVox, a community-maintained open supply implementation of the Puppet configuration administration system.
Introduced January 21, the OpenVox automation framework is designed to be a drop-in alternative for Puppet, however at the moment comes with a caveat: “Be aware, of course, that even though you can type the same commands, use all the same modules and extensions, and configure the same settings, OpenVox is not yet tested to the same standard that Puppet is,” Ben Ford of Vox Pupuli wrote in a weblog put up saying the discharge.
OpenVox started as a Puppet mirror by Overlook Infratech offering neighborhood packages when Perforce discontinued public packaging efforts in late-2024, in response to Vox Pupuli, which considers the challenge a “soft fork” as a result of they intend to take care of downstream compatibility for so long as potential. Vox Pupuli says it has created a Puppet Standards Steering Committee to set the course of options and language evolutions and has invited Perforce to take part.
