On: Chef to be acquired by Progress

[stevekemp]

CFEngine never really seemed to recover from the 2.x to 3.x migration. I know that's around the point I switched my fleet from CFEngine to Puppet.

I toyed with a simple puppet-alike, written in golang, called marionette (in hindsight a terrible name):

It isn't anywhere near as complex, or featureful, but starting with golden AMIs it allows the necessary changes that I need in a consistent fashion.

Well, yeah, especially as Puppet has a well known solution named Marionette Collective
