Summary

In May 2017, significant updates and changes were announced for the Elastic Puppet ecosystem, focusing on the deprecation of Puppet 3 and the introduction of new features across various modules. With Puppet 3 reaching its end-of-life in December 2016, support for this version will be phased out with the 6.x release of the Elastic Stack, allowing a period for users to upgrade. The modules have been relocated to the "elastic" namespace on Puppet Forge, with updates and releases to follow there. An official Puppet Kibana module was released at version 5.0, offering enhanced management capabilities, while the Elasticsearch module introduced support for indices and pipelines, allowing for better management of settings and processing workflows. Logstash version 5 brought improvements in service management, with the module now supporting only Logstash 5.x, simplifying service handling and enhancing stability. Additionally, comprehensive plugin support and a re-written test suite ensure reliability across supported systems and Puppet versions.
