You also need to audit the systems regularly and prepare reports to find out which nodes have drifted away from the policy etc.
Software Delivery : If you are in business of building software and delivering as ova images or similar, Puppet is better approach to deliver the product and push updates to it.
You need to update the nodes and applications running on those often.
You need to deploy it on the respective nodes and make it running often.
