Puppet vs. Chef
Posted by cyberswat on December 13, 2011 at 8:28pm
I'm curious which tool is generally preferred for infrastructure management: Puppet or Chef?
Here's a rough unofficial analysis of high level points.
Puppet
- Older product
- Stronger community than Chef
- Significant number of community modules https://github.com/search?q=puppet (1947) at current count http://forge.puppetlabs.com/
- Written in Ruby but requires a Ruby DSL to really use the language.
Chef
- Newer product
- Less community support and activity.
