More Information
PP file open in Microsoft Visual Studio Code
Puppet is a tool that helps server administrators manage and automate server configuration. The Puppet platform uses several packages to run server configuration and management programs written using the Puppet programming language . These programs are comprised of resources and classes that are declared and run using a PP manifest file.
Each PP file includes one or more service names, a list of packages the file is used to install on the Puppet server, a list of services the manifest is used to run, and a path to a .CONF configuration file. The Puppet server processes PP files while building catalogs, which are used to apply any needed changes to a managed server.
