Fabulous. I 100% agree with you about puppet + ceph. I will not use ansible...because we don't have ansible currently. I'm using puppet for some minimal configuration on CEPH, mostly monitoring, version of ceph, stuff like that. The module I wrote just bootstrap the ceph with ceph adm. When I upgrade the ceph version the puppet module just install the new version of cephadm (and apt depot config) the rest is done manually. and of course the configuration of ceph is manual. If some day ceph auth will accept some JSON/YAML in export/import I will manage the export on cephfs with puppet. But not the case currently.
