Explanation

Puppet is a widely adopted configuration management tool that automates the deployment and enforcement of system configurations across servers. It uses a declarative language to define desired system states and continuously enforces them. Maestro (A), Orchestrator (B), and Conductor (D) are not standard configuration management tools-they may appear in other contexts (e.g., orchestration platforms) but are not established tools in the configuration management category alongside Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or SaltStack.
