The following table lists the maintained Puppet, Puppet Server, and PuppetDB versions along with projected end of life (EOL) dates.
As of February 2025, Perforce develops and supports Puppet Core as a proprietary product at the version 7 and 8 levels. Because Perforce no longer develops or supports open source Puppet, all versions of open source Puppet are EOL. However, users of open source Puppet can continue to engage with the Puppet Community to develop the product.
