Ideal puppet repository for centos 7 distribution

I am trying do a bit of server management for a dev environment and I wanted to learn about puppet and hence looking at installing puppet on centos 7. Basically, confused as to which version to install and which repository to go with. The 

https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

seems to have puppet 3.8.x

while, the

rpm -Uvh https://yum.puppet.com/puppet5/puppet5-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

has 5.x and is the recent one. However, the latter is specifically for EL7, not sure if I can use on CentOS 7.

Solution

  • Go with puppet 5, as mentioned in the latest docs.
    Note: most of Redhat repos and packages works flawless on CentOS 7
