# remote-exec Provisioner
The `remote-exec` provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it
is created. This can be used to run a configuration management tool, bootstrap
into a cluster, etc. To invoke a local process, see the `local-exec`
[provisioner](/docs/provisioners/local-exec.html) instead. The `remote-exec`
provisioner only supports `ssh` type [connections](/docs/provisioners/connection.html).
## Example usage
```
# Run puppet and join our Consul cluster
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
...
provisioner "remote-exec" {
inline = [
"puppet apply",
"consul join ${aws_instance.web.private_ip",
]
}
}
```
