We're actually a Windows-centric shop and have been actively evaluating configuration management solutions for Windows-based virtual machines. Initially, we were only looking at Puppet, Chef, and a commercial product called uProvision along with Vagrant. I was surprised to find that Salt had a real community behind it.
Our greatest challenge has been coming up with a tool which can manage images for both VMWare and Microsoft Hyper-V. This article introduced a web integration between Salt and libvirt called Salt-virt. Has anyone tried this interface for managing images? Does it work better than the young integration between Vagrant and libvirt?

Even if it requires a Linux server, making our solution more complicated, it appears to meet our needs very nicely. http://theforeman.org/ http://theforeman.org/
