OpenVox 8.11: Community-Maintained Puppet Fork Released!

2025-01-22

OpenVox 8.11, a community-maintained open-source implementation of Puppet, has been released! Functionally equivalent to Puppet, it's designed as a drop-in replacement, though not yet as thoroughly tested. Migration is straightforward—simply replace packages—but currently uses apt|yum.overlookinfratech.com repositories. Not recommended for critical production environments yet. Overlook InfraTech offers a paid migration service, and plans to establish a Puppet™️ Standards Steering Committee to guide OpenVox's future. OpenVox aims to: modernize the codebase and ecosystem; support current OS and Ruby versions; focus on community needs; democratize platform support; and maintain an active open-source community.
