Configuration management transactions. Puppet has the notion of stages. Yes because it's marketing an unproven technology as a solution when better things already exist. Someone I know from (OpsCode||Puppet) even further the recommendation of zk as basically the only proven consistent KVS. A better approach should be to do what other cloud shops have done and ship ZK appliances. Pushing new tech on customers is using them to beta test unproven tech, which is reinventing the wheel and risky.
