Puppet Bolt is an open source orchestration tool that automates the manual work it takes to maintain your infrastructure. It is used to automate tasks that you perform on an as-needed basis or as part of a greater orchestration workflow. Bolt can be installed on your local workstation and connects directly to remote targets with SSH or WinRM, so you are not required to install any agent software.

Key features of Puppet Bolt:

• Agentless execution: Bolt connects directly to target systems using SSH or WinRM, avoiding the need to pre-install an agent on each node.
• Task execution: Bolt executes pre-written scripts or commands (called "tasks") on remote targets.
• Open Source.
• Flexibility: Bolt supports various scripting languages like YAML, PowerShell, Bash, Python, and Ruby, allowing you to leverage existing scripting skills and tools.
