Puppet Enterprise 2016.2 introduces several new features to help users troubleshoot configurations faster using change success reporting, discover and group servers more easily based on facts, run Puppet in Docker containers, and manage IBM z Systems and LinuxONE. It also provides an integrated solution for managing both infrastructure and applications simply with a common language. Specifically, it allows users to deploy and manage IBM WebSphere components like deployment managers and application servers more easily.
