[Freeswitch-users] SaltStack + deployment techniques

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

It could be that I am slightly biased because I absolutely hate Ruby, and
have a passionate love for Python.

Personally, I felt that that both Chef and Puppet had been over-engineered
to an extent, and did not feel comfortable with the syntax or layout at all.

Then came along SaltStack, it supports Jinja templates (which is lovely),
it's feature set is implemented cleanly for the most part, and it feels
'right'.

I'm sure a more experienced person than myself could spend hours explaining
the subtle differences, but in my own opinion, SaltStack meets my
expectations of what CM and assisted CI should really be.
