Getting Started with Puppet Infra Assistant: A Complete Guide

Managing today's complex enterprise infrastructure presents significant challenges — from siloed data and steep learning curves to time-consuming troubleshooting. As the pace of business accelerates and infrastructure demands grow, these obstacles are increasingly difficult to overcome. That’s why we built Infra Assistant, a new AI capability in Puppet Enterprise Advanced, powered by Perforce Intelligence.

Introducing AI Agent Monitoring

AI is changing how we build software — but debugging code still comes down to having context. One minute the model’s performance is cruising. The next, you’re hit with a KeyError from a tool you forgot existed, triggered by a model that silently timed out, and a retrieval call that returns... nothing, or 11 “Let me try this a different way" messages before failure. You’re stitching together LLM calls, agents, vector stores, and custom logic. Then hoping it holds up in prod.

Common Drupal deployment pitfalls and how cloud automation fixes them

Deploying a Drupal 10 or Drupal 11 application can feel like walking through a minefield of potential problems. Even a well-built Drupal site can stumble during deployment due to a few common pitfalls. For IT managers and technical project leads, understanding these pitfalls—and how cloud automation can solve them—means fewer late-night emergencies and smoother launches.

Prometheus and CloudWatch Integration for AWS Metric Collection

The Prometheus CloudWatch exporter pulls AWS CloudWatch metrics into your Prometheus setup, giving you a unified view of your infrastructure alongside application metrics. If you're already running Prometheus and need visibility into AWS services like EC2, RDS, or Lambda, this exporter handles the integration without forcing you to switch monitoring stacks.

What to Consider When Choosing a Router for Your Home or Office
