Puppet: A network tool for managing many disparate systems

Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a
cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements
normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs, and hosts,
along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files.

Puppet's simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and explicitly. Puppet is written entirely in Ruby.

Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and
more. It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and
reusing frequently-requested web pages. Squid has extensive access
controls and makes a great server accelerator.

Squid 3.0 represents a major rewrite of Squid and has a number of new
features.

The most important of these are: - Code converted to C++, with
significant internal restructuring and rewrites.

- ICAP implementation (RFC 3507 and www.icap-forum.org)

- Edge Side Includes (ESI) implementation (www.esi.org)

Most user-facing changes are reflected in squid.conf.
