I think VMs are going to start coming back in vogue when companies now that are highly dependent on cloud services start to realize the cost swing back to owning bare metal machines at scale is actually cheaper once your general work loads stabilize. I think Puppet and Ansible still have a future, its just a "down time" for their popularity right now.

Even if it's more cost effective to own the host machines (whether it be bare metal or VM), I'd guess you still save yourself considerable management headaches if you continue to put containers on them. There is still some stuff to manage with something like puppet and ansible, but I think if most of your configuration is in containers, it gets a lot simpler and these tools become less critical/complicated.
