today announced the integration of its version management solution with IT automation leader . Perforce is the only commercial version management solution that integrates with the puppetlabs-vcsrepo module out-of-the-box to support companies practicing DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) — software development methodologies that use automated build and test methods to keep software in a permanently releasable state.
helps companies improve their DevOps and CD processes by automating the deployment of both infrastructure and applications. This eliminates the risk of configuration errors and makes it easier to fix faults in small batches of code. The integration of Puppet Enterprise with , the Perforce versioning engine, enables a single source of truth for deployment automation with Perforce serving as the repository for all source code, configurations, binaries and other deployment artifacts. Perforce reliably accommodates the high transaction volumes that come from automating deployment processes. By eliminating the need for disparate repositories and providing immutable audit logs and change history, Perforce also simplifies the task of proving regulatory and security policy compliance. Developers can look at Perforce audit logs to see exactly what was deployed, by which process and when. They can also compare deployed binaries with the copies stored in Perforce to ensure no file has been tampered with.
“Perforce–s ability to handle all enterprise assets beyond code and other IT components is crucial in practicing Continuous Delivery, where every part of a project — artwork, documents, multimedia — needs to be in one place,” said Nigel Kersten, CIO at Puppet Labs. “Their integration with Puppet Enterprise will help companies reap all the benefits CI/CD have to offer.”
“Our technology complements Puppet Labs– industry-leading automation tools very well, and we–re excited to work with them,” said Christopher Seiwald, founder and CEO of Perforce. “As more and more companies move to faster release cadences of Continuous Delivery, they will benefit greatly from the integration of these technologies.”
