Author's point is that we are focusing on the wrong place (puppet, chef, etc.), hence potentially making the problem worse by attempting to deal with the symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. Puppet/Chef etc. may indeed still be relevant and potentially even more widely used as it would become much simpler to develop recipes, etc.
- geerlingguy 13y agoI think the takeaway is that package management is ripe for improvement, but CM tools (and more flexible tools like Ansible) do so many more things besides automating package management that I question the author's mention of them for anything besides a hook to get more pageviews. This article has little to do with config management. A better title would be "apt, yum and brew aren't good enough; we can do better".
