To manage application deployments I've written this Puppi module: https://github.com/example42/puppet-modules/tree/master/puppi it's been designed originally to configure deployments procedures via puppet but it has to be run directly from the target node (until I'll write a mcollective agent) . So via Puppet you can manage the whole configuration, but not the execution itself.
In the project dir there are some examples of deploy procedures that can adapt to different cases, (incidentally puppi::project::maven is intended to pull from a Nexus repository (but it's currenly under redesign and it works just for wars deploys) but these can be totally customized or created from scratch using using custom scripts. The advantages I see with this Puppi are: - A sort of bridge between Puppet and the OS for managing "shot" operations. - Standard syntax to manage deploys (and rollbacks) for different cases: you always have to write: puppi deploy <name> - Once configured your deployment templates it's very quick and easy to setup deploy procedures on different servers with Puppet - Since the puppi command just executes, in a given seguence, a serie of commands, these can be totally customized, existing scritps can be adapted and different scripting languages used. - The "puppi check" command to see if on your node everything is running fine is incredibly handy (but for having this to work in an automated way you need the Example42 monitor classes) - The notification of the deploy result is customizable. For the moment it just sends and email, but you can do whatever you may want to do with a custom script. In the future I'd like to integrate Puppi with mcollective and provide a web frontend, at least for reporting. But works are in progresss and various things will change.
