Audience
System administrators, DevOps engineers, infrastructure teams, and IT operations professionals seeking open-source infrastructure orchestration and automation tools
About Puppet Bolt
Bolt is an open-source orchestration and automation tool from Puppet that helps IT teams automate infrastructure management and operational workflows without requiring agent software on remote systems. The platform enables users to perform tasks such as patching servers, deploying applications, troubleshooting systems, restarting services, and executing remote commands across infrastructure environments using SSH or WinRM connections. Bolt supports workflow orchestration through reusable tasks and plans that allow teams to automate complex operational processes and one-time infrastructure changes efficiently. The tool can be installed on a local workstation and connects directly to remote targets, making it lightweight and flexible for infrastructure automation and remote administration. Bolt integrates with Puppet modules and related Puppet products.

Next Matter
Next Matter is the orchestration platform built for regulated financial operations. Asset managers, fund administrators, and asset servicing teams use Next Matter to run capital calls, NAV processes, investor and LP onboarding, KYC/AML, and subscriptions and redemptions — with governance built in by default, not bolted on.
Every workflow ships with maker-checker approvals, exception handling, and a timestamped audit trail out of the box, so operations teams get regulator-ready evidence without extra engineering work. Ops teams build and change their own workflows — live in days, not months — and Next Matter augments the existing stack (ledgers, CRMs, KYC providers) rather than replacing it. Role-based views give task owners, oversight teams, and external guests exactly the interface they need.
Trusted by regulated financial operations teams across Europe and the US

Puppeteer
Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer! Puppeteer-core is intended to be a lightweight version of Puppeteer for launching an existing browser installation or for connecting to a remote one. Be sure that the version of puppeteer-core you install is compatible with the browser you intend to connect to. Puppeteer will be familiar to people using other browser testing frameworks. You create an instance of Browser, open pages, and then manipulate them with Puppeteer's API. By default, Puppeteer downloads and uses a specific version of Chromium so its API is guaranteed to work out of the box. To use Puppeteer with a different version of Chrome or Chromium, pass in the executable's path when creating a Browser instance.

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt is a family of open artificial intelligence models designed for local AI agents, autonomous task execution, and conversational applications. The family includes Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B, a 74-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with approximately 9 billion active parameters, and Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B, a compact model optimized for conversational agents. The 74B-A9B variant uses native 2-bit quantization to operate within approximately 24GB of memory on compatible NVIDIA hardware. Its agentic capabilities support web research, software development, code debugging, and multistep task automation without requiring cloud-based inference. The E4B variant targets local voice assistants, interactive characters, and embedded applications with a 4GB memory footprint. Nemotron 3.5 Bolt supports deployment on NVIDIA RTX systems, DGX Spark, and other compatible hardware, giving developers greater control over inference, application data, and local AI workflows.

V2 Cloud
V2 Cloud is a virtual cloud computing platform that enables organizations to securely deliver workstations and all of the computing resources associated with them, such as files and databases, business applications of any kind, and servers of any kind including Linux, to users anywhere in the world. While V2 Cloud is often described as Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), it goes well beyond virtual desktops: it's a complete cloud computing environment that brings desktops, applications, data, and servers together in one managed platform.
Unlike traditional VDI solutions that require significant IT resources and specialized infrastructure expertise, V2 Cloud provides an intuitive, managed platform that can be deployed in minutes. Organizations can centralize computing resources, improve security, simplify IT operations, and support remote, hybrid, branch, and distributed workforces without investing in on-premise infrastructure.
