IT admins rely on Puppet to manage complex deployments every day. If your network is built on Red Hat systems, you're going to need to install Puppet on RHEL 8. Puppet Labs provides a repository and packages, so the whole thing should be relatively hassle free.
Think the rpm name has changed since this fine article was written. Using the command given in the article, get a 404. Change
puppetlabs-release-el-8.noarch.rpm
to
puppet-release-el-8.noarch.rpm
…and all good though. Example below.
[steve@rhel-8-puppet ~]$ sudo dnf install https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-8.noarch.rpm
...
[MIRROR] puppetlabs-release-el-8.noarch.rpm: Status code: 404 for https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-8.noarch.rpm
