Puppet resource types are usually backed by multiple implementations called providers, which handle variance between platforms and tools.

Different providers are suitable or unsuitable on different platforms based on things like the presence of a given tool.

Here are all of the provider-backed types and their different providers. Any unmentioned types do not use providers yet.
