A small question: Assuming you use a single type and version of the OS (say ubuntu vXXX) -- Does it make sense to use the OS native packaging system instead of something like Puppet? I.e., maintain a private packages repository where you add your custom packages, and have the various servers pull from that repository? Obviously, this doesn't work if you have different types of servers - but for many servers configured identically, it should work.
