So I was reading about a module today called autopilot (http://www.workhabit.org/change-management-and-drupal-autopilot-news) and was wondering if anyone here is involved or knows anything about it and what sort of differences/similarities there are between it and Hostmaster2.
I'm very interested in the topic of change management and and such things, but just getting my mind wrapped around these tools. I'm involved with some large Drupal deployments so tools like this are getting pretty high on my radar.

Hostmaster2 is for managing lots of Drupal sites powered by install profiles. Autopilot might be used to deploy an entire HM2 codebase.
So, you run a HM2 site to manage Apache, MySQL, and lots of drupal sites. You use Autopilot to deploy code between dev, staging, and production.
Adrian just checked in more of the hosting portion of hostmaster that should make things more clear.
