In this chapter you'll learn about Puppet Forge, the public repository for Puppet modules, and you'll see how to install and use third-party modules from Puppet Forge, using the r10k module management tool. You'll see examples of how to use three important Forge modules: puppetlabs/apache, puppetlabs/mysql, and puppet/archive.
