I use shell scripts for deploying and configuring new servers. Hope to move to CM soon. Bought your book so I can get a feel for the different choices.

- WestCoastJustin 13y agoI also bought the book to compare puppet/chef/ansible/salt. If you are interested in learning about puppet (or any of these), I would highly recommend using something like Vagrant to herd virtual machines into example configurations. I have been using puppet for over a year and I have found this configuration to be extremely helpful for testing new scripts. Vagrant knows about puppet/chef/ansible, so you do not even need to install the client software, just point vagrant at your scripts! I have put together a couple screencasts about Vagrant [1] and Learning puppet with Vagrant [2]. Hope you find these helpful.
