Ansible and Puppet are both configuration management tools, but they differ in several aspects. Ansible is agentless, meaning no software needs to be installed on managed nodes except SSH.nOn the other hand, Puppet requires an agent to run on each managed node. Additionally, Ansible uses a playbook (YAML files) to define tasks while Puppet manifests are written in its own declarative language called Puppet DSL.
