I'm really looking forward to the Chef Platform mentioned in this article. It seems like chef is a set of great core tools, but putting them all together and getting an environment going is still more work than it should be. The two times I've used chef (first chef-solo, then setting up a chef-server) ended up being far more work than just setting up a server manually (haven't had to scale out tons of servers yet, which I assume makes the current chef setup time worthwhile). I'd like to see chef evolve into something more like Heroku, where I setup a few config files and then run a simple command line script. The benefit of Chef Platform is that it would (hopefully) be a simple monthly fee (like say $10/month) instead of fee on top of every server resource I use. Also, I like the idea of creating my own recipes (instead of relying on Heroku to have an addon, which is problematic when they lack the addon for something like MongoDB).
