Operations management on Windows sometimes feels like the wild west. There are lots of options out there that may sort of meet your needs, but not always do the best job. The most flexible approach to modernizing operations on Windows is to look to artifact independent packages that can be added to any configuration management approach.

Once you get a taste, it's like an obsession. Chocolatey is a sweet package manager for Windows. Puppet is the Configuration Manager. Put them together and you have a super power to deliver better solutions faster. Puppet and Chocolatey have been used successfully in organizations, from large to small, to transform development and operations on Windows. You may have used and/or presently use one or both of these. Come to learn how things have changed, where the future lies, and how you can be a part of it. The future is now.

Requirements

When a package version has failed requirements, the package version requires fixing or response by the maintainer. If items are flagged correctly, they must be fixed before the package version can be approved. The exact same version should be uploaded during moderation review.

• If you are going to fill in copyright, please use more than 4 characters.
• Tags (tags) are space separated values for referencing categories for software. Please don't use comma to separate tags.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time guidelines can become requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

• The nuspec has been enhanced to allow you to put in packageSourceUrl, pointing to the url where this package source resides. Consider adding it to the nuspec.
