Don't forget Capistrano which some use for administration (I think
it's better suited for app deployment)
The reasons why we chose Puppet
- Language is easy to understand, read and learn
- Self healing in the sense if something is borked it will try to make
it the state you specify
- Template options are pretty flexible.
- Language is abstract for the resources you choose (makes it easier
to implement multiple OSes)
Hope this helps.
