254+ Puppet Agents are installed on nodes whose state needs to be monitored or changed.
255+ A desginated server known as the Puppet Master is responsible for orchastrating the
256+ agent nodes.
257+
258+ Agent nodes send basic facts about the system such as to the Operating System, Kernel,
259+ Architecture, IP Address, Hostname etc. to the Puppet Master.
260+ The Puppet Master then compiles a catalog with information provided by the agents on
261+ how each node should be configured and sends it to the agent. The agent enforces the
262+ change as prescribed in the catalog and sends a report back to the Puppet Master.
