Chef is a systems integration framework, built to bring the benefits of configuration management to your entire infrastructure. With Chef, you can: * Manage your servers by writing code, not by running commands. (via Cookbooks) * Integrate tightly with your applications, databases, LDAP directories, and more. (via Libraries) * Easily configure applications that require knowledge about your entire infrastructure ("What systems are running my application?" "What is the current master database server?")

prinkle is a software provisioning tool you can use to build remote servers with, after the base operating system has been installed.

Puppet, the configuration management solution. The Puppet framework provides a means to describe IT infrastructure as policy, execute that policy to build services then audit and enforce ongoing changes to the policy.

Zentrales Konfigurations Management

Puppet, the configuration management solution. The Puppet framework provides a means to describe IT infrastructure as policy, execute that policy to build services then audit and enforce ongoing changes to the policy. Puppet helps accomplish the goal of a hands-off, automated infrastructure.  The benefits of automated infrastructure go beyond policy-enforced consistency and auditing.  The impact of hardware failure and other disaster scenarios can be mitigated, as services can be quickly restored by Puppet. In conjunction with virtualizaton, the ability to reliably create new systems running consistent services can be leveraged to create autoscaling applications as well as test systems identical to production environments.

note to self: must try out puppet tomorrow to see if it means no more custom ami's on ec2
