Avoid Costly System Downtime & Manage Change Strategically
Infrastructure changes can lead to interruptions your organization shouldn't have to tolerate, like unplanned downtime, service outages, increased troubleshooting, and compliance violations. Impact Analysis in Puppet Enterprise Advanced helps you plan changes strategically to avoid configuration conflicts and drift, apply quick fixes without introducing new problems, and keep resources in compliance across environments.
What is Impact Analysis?
- Catch issues early to accelerate rollouts.
- Get critical insights to avoid downtime and costly outages.
- Ensure each update supports business goals and maintains compliance.
Commit with Confidence
Every code deployment can have an unintentional impact on your business, from service interruptions to data loss and downtime. Avoid costly, time-wasting rollbacks and keep your team focused on delivering value-add solutions with vital insights from Impact Analysis.
Protect Revenue
Unexpected business downtime and service disruption have a direct impact on your bottom line.
Sustain Velocity
Avoid problems with code changes that slow down your teams, add to rework, and frustrate customers.
Defend Your Brand
Downtime can violate SLAs and cause customers — internal and external — to lose trust in you.
The Value of Impact Analysis for Infrastructure Code
"Even if you're writing clean code, you still only know what you know. Impact analysis for code gives you peace of mind that the changes you do expect to see are there on the other end."
Report On Risk & Plan Accordingly
Impact Analysis lets you illustrate the story of your infrastructure by generating reports that showcase the potential impact of proposed code changes.
Comprehensive Reporting
Generate detailed reports that highlight the scope and implications of each modification to existing Puppet code — on-demand or every time a change is submitted to your repo.
Integrate with Your CI/CD Pipeline
Automatically analyze change impact, flag issues early, and streamline approvals in your existing workflows to ensure every change is vetted before deployment.
Real-Time Side-by-Side Comparisons
Accurately identify risk by comparing the current catalog of deployments against the newly generated catalog under your specified deployment conditions.
