The Pu...I wouldn't believe everything you read. The Puppet guys seems mainly good at self-promotion. Cfengine 3 has been around for a while now and it is way cool. Check out the Facebook group for CFengine, or the website and you'll see some pretty interesting stuff. In my experience Puppet has tried to steal CFengine's show but they Puppet can't do half the stuff the cfengine can do native, and they're not real strong on technology. If you dig into the "recipes" they have, they're pretty much smoke and mirrors, embedded perl scripts or real trivial stuff. Cfengine now has a community library which seems to be active and has solutions. I think it still needs work, but it's still ahead of Puppet. See also the interesting stats on Cfengine 3 being 25x faster!! More modern version? I'd say Puppet was a step backwards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481393951276911499noreply@blogger.com
