Pick Fabric if…
Fabric suits Python users who need to automate shell commands over SSH across one or more hosts. It may also fit teams that want to move from Fabric 1 gradually.
Pick Puppet if…
It suits medium and large organizations managing complex hybrid environments that need centralized automation, security and compliance. Teams managing network or edge devices should note that this is optional and requires sales contact for licensing.
