[chef] Re: chef and puppet - quick question

Yes. Chef and Puppet are similar products, and if you are looking for very basic configuration management, both can provide similar functionality.

If you want to get started with configuration management/automation and have not decided which one to chose, I definitely recommend you to use chef.  I personally started with Puppet, then moved to Chef, and have been a happy customer ever since. Chef could do almost everything that Puppet could, and has additional features which are really useful, comes with a nice command line client, offers you a lot of  flexibility etc.  If you are looking for a specific use case, we would like to hear about it from you so that we could help you making a wise decision. 

Thanks
