Puppet has released Bolt 5.0.1, adding a new plan_context function that lets users determine whether automation plans are running in Bolt or Puppet Enterprise. The update also brings support for Windows 11 and RHEL 10.

This release responds to growing demand for cross-platform infrastructure management. Many enterprise IT teams rely on both operating systems, making expanded compatibility essential for broader Bolt adoption.

Organizations using Puppet Enterprise can now access the RHEL 10 package. Users should review the official release notes for detailed changes. This update strengthens Bolt's position as a versatile automation tool.

Future releases may expand platform support further as infrastructure diversification continues. IT teams managing hybrid environments will benefit most from these enhancements.
