Anyone here used ansible and at least one of puppet/chef? |

What are your thoughts? |

I've made several attempts over the years to get puppet going but never |
| 6 |
really got it off the ground. Chef I stay away from (likely due to the |
| 7 |
first demo of it I saw and how badly that went....) |

Puppet seems to me a good product for a large site with 1000 hosts. |
| 10 |
Not so much for ~20 or so. Plus puppet's language and configs get large |
| 11 |
and hard to keep track of - lots and lots of directory trees with many |
| 12 |
things mentioning other things. (Nagios has the same problem if you |
| 13 |
start keeping host, services, groups and commands in many different files) |

I've stumbled upon ansible, it seems much better than puppet for |
| 16 |
smallish sites with good odds I might even keep the whole thing in my |
| 17 |
head at any one time :-) |

Anyone care to share experiences? |
