Haven't really tried puppet. We're a ruby shop, which helped the choice ;) For the critical size in terms of servers, I'd say 1 is enough if you need to start/stop it often. But yeah, the benefits only show up after at least 3 of them I'd say.

Puppet is written in Ruby too. I've yet to see a compelling reason to use Chef rather than Puppet, but maybe I've just not been looking hard enough. Puppet is great, and we're a Python shop..

  Ha? we missed that Puppet was Ruby as well. I will check it out also when I have some time.

Actually Puppet is written in Ruby. Even more, there is ShadowPuppet gem (http://github.com/railsmachine/shadow_puppet/tree/master http://github.com/railsmachine/shadow_puppet/tree/master) which replaces the puppet's DSL with ruby classes and functions to directly manipulate Puppets manifests, so its all Ruby all the way down.

  Interesting, indeed! I'll check that out.
