Hi everyone, I have released a tool called Wirbelsturm (https://github.com/miguno/wirbelsturm) that allows you to perform local and remote deployments of Kafka. It's also a small way of saying a big "thank you" to the Kafka community.
Wirbelsturm uses Vagrant for creating and managing machines, and Puppet for provisioning the machines once they're up and running. You can also use Ansible to interact with deployed machines. Deploying Kafka is but one example, of course -- you can deploy other software with Wirbelsturm as well (e.g. Graphite, Redis, Storm, ZooKeeper). I also wrote a quick intro and behind-the-scenes blog post at [1], which covers, for instance, the motivation behind building Wirbelsturm and lessons learned along the way (read: mistakes made :-P). Enjoy! Michael [1] http://www.michael-noll.com/blog/2014/03/17/wirbelsturm-one-click-deploy-storm-kafka-clusters-with-vagrant-puppet/
