I used to use Chef, have mostly switched to Ansible. Not sure about "dead in the water" but my experience has been that Ansible is a better tool.

- marcosdumay 7y agoComing from Puppet, I almost migrated to Chef long ago because Puppet lacks stability (not "the system is down" stability, but "all my scripts stopped working again this month"), but looking at it, I concluded Chef lacked it too. I'm still at the "shell scripts are enough for everybody" camp, but Ansible is looking stable enough to use.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoTerraform + Ansible and a little Salt has pretty much deleted my needs for Chef and Puppet. Strongly recommend TF + Ansible as a building block of orchestration + post-orchestration config mgmt.
