TL; DR: Puppet acquired by Perforce (yes, the version control software).

The company’s comprehensive DevOps portfolio and deep domain expertise drives quality, security, compliance, collaboration, and speed – across the technology lifecycle. > Perforce has a 25 year-plus history of developing and supporting developer productivity tools. So Perforce is actually, er, whatever that word salad means. It seems version control is not one of the things Perforce want associated with their name - which is also how i would feel if i'd developed Perforce.

    I spoke to a Perforce salesman 1.5 years ago. Their niche is the film industry. Basically version control for film.

      I've heard that games use it a lot as well. Supposedly deals with large assets much better than other VCS tools.
