Haven't been keeping up with #Chef for automation, but they seem to have doubled down on "enterprise solutions" from was a fairly comprehensible agent-based configuration management tool.
@freemo I don't know about that. There's a way of getting people to use your product by catering to the people who *actually* use your product and not to their bosses. I think #Ansible is more like that. Although red hat has pushed things like Ansible Tower that I think of as more geared towards management types, it's still easy to cut through the BS to instructions for download, basic project, to supporting multiple environments.
