I don't know enough about Puppet to compare them, but the impression I got from reading several comparisons a year or two ago was that Puppet had a more mature community and hence better cookbooks, while Chef was better suited to "dynamic" responses, like adding nodes in response to high load. So perhaps Chef has better removal abilities.
- druiid 14y agoWell, the community for Puppet is good, but oddly there are many modules (what Puppet calls a 'cookbook') missing for some relatively trivial things. For instance, I have written about 10 modules now for various system utilities/resources/services now which didn't exist as of yet, or at least were very... ahem... not good. For example, I've basically re-written my own nginx module because the ability to add reverse-proxy caching to server entries didn't exist even in the Puppet Labs nginx module (really, this is a thing)!
