Why does Puppet exist?

Luke Kanies, who founded Puppet Labs, has been doing server automation for years, and Puppet is the result of his frustration with existing tools. After significant effort spent trying to enhance cfengine, plus a stint at a commercial server automation vendor, Luke concluded that the only way to get a great automation tool was to develop one. Puppet is actually the result of years of design and prototyping (called Blink during its prototype phases), but only in 2005 was a commercial company (Puppet Labs) built to be fully dedicated to its creation. If Puppet is not the most powerful and most flexible server automation platform available, then its goals are not being met.
