+1 to bcfg2. I stayed away from Puppet mainly because a) I wrote a Sun-internal app by the same name that did the same thing and I'm afraid I'd confuse myself and b) I didn't want to deploy ruby everywhere. In the case of cfengine, quite frankly, I was turned off by the author's proclamations at LISA. One of the great things about the bcfg2 community is that they are all really, really great, friendly folks. The irc channel is usually buzzing with great questions/feedback/etc. That said, there are two basic problems with bcfg2 from my perspective: a) it doesn't scale to our type of workloads b) the security model looks a bit iffy In the case of A, few people have workloads like we do*. :) In the case of B, I haven't played with it enough to see just how good/bad it is. * - the Yahoo! hadoop grids are in the 10s of thousands of machines ...
