We're using it to provision the Vms hosting our container platform besides some terraform/packer for allocating the VMs and such. It works, and doesn't suck much more or less than other configuration systems. A big discussion point internally is just speed at even medium scales. I don't know why something like Mitogen is not built-in, as Mitogen is the difference between 12 - 15 minute runs vs 3 minutes flat, even though it has enough other problems.This is growing into some degree of resentment against the tool in the team. There is some murmuring that puppet might just be better to maintain the solid foundation of a fleet of linux systems, after chef was monetized and such. I'm going to send a colleague the idea of persistent connections to test though.
