Ready to automatically provision and maintain StackStorm nodes in production? Then the stackstorm-st2 Puppet module is for you! We’re proud to announce the v1.0.0 stable release of github.com/StackStorm/puppet-st2, the StackStorm Puppet module.
Puppet is an excellent tool that allows the user to declare the desired state of their system in code. Once defined, hand over the reins to Puppet and watch as it transforms your nodes into what you’ve declared. We wanted to bring the power of declarative state to StackStorm deployments, and puppet-st2 is that solution.
Find StackStorm v1.0.0 on Puppet Forge, – https://forge.puppet.com/stackstorm/st2
A great deal of work has gone into the v1.0.0 release to ensure that st2 Puppet Module is ready to provision and manage StackStorm nodes in production environments. See January, 2018 Puppet Module to Install StackStorm – Announcing Release Candidate. Over the past year we’ve iterated through several pre-releases, release-candidate versions, fixed a lot of bugs, reworked the entire module structure and can now declare it stable and production ready.
There are still a lot of exciting new announcements in this release. Keep reading to find out what’s changed!

Many enterprises are delivering services to millions of customers every day, and one of their key challenges is to make sure they are never without service. Working at such a large scale requires organizations to streamline DevOps processes so they can minimize errors, reduce the burden on Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and get fast visibility into potential issues.
We are happy to welcome Bitovi as a partner. Just recently they helped one of their clients to streamline and solve DevOps automation using Stackstorm.

PerfSonar is a super handy toolkit for measuring network performance between any two points. Combine this with the Guest VM built into the Extreme SLX series of switches, and you can easily run performance tests between any two points on your network, measuring performance, latency, jitter, MTU, path taken, etc. Combine that with StackStorm, and you can easily run those tests from Slack. No need to even login to a switch.
Check out the video here. From Slack, we can trigger different tests between any two switches – performance, one-way latency measurement, or trace the path, showing the path MTU. The results are then shown in Slack:
