Sure, as long as the packages are supported by a provider. Take a look
at the
package provider reference for details:
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#package

You can use puppet kick to trigger an agent run from the master in
Puppet 3.x.
puppet kick is deprecated and no longer supported in Puppet 4.x though.

Hth,

It is much more common to run the puppet agent(client) daemon on the client machines than to use Puppet kick. The daemon will check into the Puppet master every 20 minutes or so.

No, Puppet does not work that way, and I don't see why anyone would want it to do.  What a frightening prospect.

thanks for the reply, is it will make puppet connection lost or something bad happen if we use yum update ?

That's not really a Puppet question, but a question every sysadmin has
to answer
himself. Which updates are applied in your environment with yum update,
which services
and files are affected by the updates, and so on.

You probably should not use yum or Puppet, if you don't know what effect
those
tools can have on your environment.

Br,
Tom.

Let me be more explicit: you can update Puppet or any other software on the master via "yum update", but that does not inherently have any effect on nodes running the agent, except inasmuch as you may run into incompatibilities between older agents and newer masters.  Puppet does not in general cause agent nodes to mirror the master, neither overall nor with respect to their Puppet implementation.  If you do update Puppet on the master, you should probably shut down the puppetmaster service first, and start the updated version after..

Thanks for the explanation. It really help me to understand about this.
