Puppet could indeed be that process, and certainly replacing it isn't trivial. But I'm excited by the idea that we could replace it, by being able to rely on the configuration being directly available (provided by the OS). We'll have to see what gets created!

What's the advantage of it being built into the OS versus using chef or puppet? There's going to be some kind of process running to handle configuration no matter what. Docker also has Dockerfiles to handle configuration of containers. After seeing this article I looked into config management in Docker and containers and I'm having a hard time seeing why something like puppet/chef isn't the right solution.
