It enables us to deploy, manage, and scale our infrastructure in several environments including physical, virtual, and cloud-based environments. Declarative languages, it helps us organize infrastructure.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The first thing I like about this platform is that it is easy to deal with in every type of environment whether simple or complex by maintaining thousands of nodes consistently irrespective of the fact that they are processing on-premises or out-premises.
