		qznc on Nov 22, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ansible 1.4 released In all this talk about Ansible, Puppet, Chef, I wonder why nobody mentions cfengine. When I explored configuration systems my conclusions were Ansible for small systems (<100 nodes) and cfengine3 for larger systems. cfengine has very little dependencies (no Python/Ruby/etc) and a solid theoretic foundation (Promise theory etc).

cfengine's theory: http://markburgess.org/certainty.html

Maybe cfengine is the Darcs to ansible's git. Clueful smartos people rave about it.
