Has there been any discussion related to converting the Barracuda / Octopus scripts over to a system like Chef or Puppet? After doing some research I think a Barracuda cookbook for Chef would be pretty amazing. We could take it further and have knife subcommands built that can add clients and sites.
Any thoughts on this?

I would prefer something simpler
There were discussions in the team, but no decision yet: http://twitter.com/omega8cc/status/155344495385387008
There are also other alternatives to consider, like cdist: http://www.nico.schottelius.org/blog/migrating-away-from-puppet-to-cdist/
Great idea
First off, omega8cc, my huge appreciation for your efforts .. Truly amazing and encouraging .. I come from a sysadmin background, and would be keen to help out anyway I can with what you are doing .. In what ways can I contribute ?
Yeah, there are alternatives to chef indeed .. puppet, cfengine are tops for me .. chef seems to be easier for folks deeply conversant with ruby, but puppet is probably the faster way to go ..
I see cdist there (but never heard of it before), and can see the appeal for this kind of non-SSL cert requiring system .. but I would still consider puppet tops for this effort
decision taken?
Hi omega8's guys
how you made a decision about which direction the BOA project will be? Any plans to move forwards to any configuration manager as Puppet / Cheff ?
just being curious...
cheers!
Ansible
It seems they've chosen Ansible, this was mentioned in the barracuda issue queue a couple of times.
I'm also curious when this will happen - BOA will be configured faster than light ;)
