We're finally entering the modern times at work and getting one of these tools set up to help automate all the things. Focus there is Ansible, primarily since it is supposed to be Powershell friendly and we're a Windows shop
I know Puppet is probably the most common one, with Chef also popular in some places. But Ansible seems to be on fire - new hotness and all that.
I want to work on one of them for Terasology's server stuff too, as I've had trouble getting Jenkins itself to directly manage droplets (can create them, but not destroy them, for example). Does anybody have an interest in this topic and a favored tool that they might help out with if we used it?
If not I'll just play around with whichever and pick one I end up liking - or whatever we end up with at work so there's some nice overlap there.
