Scheduling patching

We've migrated to Satellite 6.1 from 5.6 (as you would) and I'm attempting to update documentation for our next Dev patch cycle.
Previously, we could schedule a reboot, deploy patches and another reboot.
I am looking for a way to do this with satellite 6.1 that doesn't involve touching each server individually but can't seem to find it.

I understand that Puppet (opensource) is integrated with satellite 6.1.

Is the assumption here that puppet or mcollective be used in place of action chaining?
