No, they're not.

Right now the main open-source options are Ansible (a Red Hat product), Chef
and Puppet. I have used all three, and found that the learning curve for new

Doh'! I forget to say what "there" is: GitHub.com/instantlinux, the
docker-tools and puppet-modules repos.

If you're still editing /etc config files, consider taking the time to learn
how to administer them in a centralized revision-controlled manner.
You can find my vintage-2011 puppet modules on my git repo, and my new 2017

How do you handle file permissions? E.g. .ssh directory contents or PGP
key files having
I have a cron job which commits my home directory into a Git repository
every minute. Surprisingly, this puts no noticeable load on the
computer.
Every week, I run a script which prunes commits out of the commit
history so that at any time N in the past, commits are spaced no closer
than N/365.
John and Dan suggested Amazon S3 and rsync.net: I wanted to clarify my
requirements.
Those, like ad-infinitum cloud services, provide raw storage. While you can
roll your own software to do backups to raw storage, they are not "backup
systems" that provide the following capabilities:

I use Amazon S3 for my backups. First 50 TB/month cost $0.0245 per GB for
Standard Storage or $0.0135 per GB for Infrequent Access Storage.
I wrote a script for my backups that uses s3cmd to sync my servers to S3

For my main backups of my daily computer I still do incremental backups
to a series of encrypted portable USB disks. One stays at at work, one
at home, etc.
But for various things I do backup to the "cloud" more frequently: I
commit to git and push, frequently, as soon as I feel like I have
