Puppet took $40M in debt in July. I don't think they are sellable because they had a high valuation and now a ton of debt, while the product is on a strong downward trend replaced by ansible/terraform. My guess is they get enough revenues from a few large customers to sustain a small-medium company.
I hope they keep the Salt Cloud stuff open, that was handy for driving on-prem hypervisors that weren't running vSphere. (Although, it gives a good reason not to buy vSphere, I guess).
