Migrating Bolt tasks and plans to PE

If you use Bolt tasks and plans to automate parts of your configuration management, you can move that Bolt content to a control repo and transform it into a Puppet Enterprise (PE) environment. This lets you manage and run tasks and plans using PE and the console. Bolt projects have the same structure as Puppet modules, and they can be loaded from the modules directory of a PE environment.

The control repo is a central Git repository from which PE fetches content. An environment is a space for PE authors to write and install content, similar to a Bolt project.

There are two ways to get your Bolt content into an environment:

• Move your Bolt code to a new control repo. Do this if you have a Boltdir, or an embedded project directory, in a repo that also contains other code that you do not want to migrate to PE.
• Configure PE to point to the Bolt project. Do this is if you have a dedicated repo for Bolt code, or a local project directory, and don't want to duplicate it in PE.
