Puppet is only "escaping" in that it's implemented in Ruby. It's not people outside the Rails world picking up Ruby.
Chef, in my experience, is favored almost exclusively by people who are already Rubyists. The concept of applying The Power Of Ruby (TM) to system configuration is not attractive to non-Rubyists.
I don't see Vagrant much these days. I suspect Docker is displacing it.
- pwelch 12y agoThe fact that Ruby is the language chosen to implement these tools is the proof it's not just for Rails. Also, Docker may become more popular but I doubt it is going to replace Vagrant. There are just too many times where you need a full VM instead of a container process. Not every problem can be solved with containers.
