Puppet, Inc., a company known for its expertise in cloud-native package management solutions, had previously acquired a tech startup also named Cloudsmith and dropped the name after acquisition. However, the domain was later found to be available, prompting the founders of the original Cloudsmith to reacquire it. After registering the trademark in the UK and US, the company successfully transferred the `cloudsmith.io` domain to Puppet's CEO Yvonne Wassenaar, who introduced them to the relevant team members at Puppet. The transfer was completed after a video call to clarify the details, with the founders expressing their gratitude for the professionalism and collective spirit of the Puppet community.
