I can't speak for Puppetlabs, but I would imagine that at some point
service orchestration is something they should want to tackle, by
building something on top of mcollective and puppetdb, but for now,
the options I am aware of (In no particular order):

1) Glu http://linkedin.github.com/glu/docs/latest/html/tutorial.html
2) KermIT http://kermit.fr/kermit/
3) Juju https://juju.ubuntu.com/
4) Foreman-stacker https://github.com/ohadlevy/stacker (Not sure the status).
5) CloudFormation (AWS specific)
6) http://rundeck.org/

I just saw a talk on Juju, and it looks pretty interesting..
(Interesting enough, that I will be testing it in the lab.)

Cheers,
Brian
