Can't say enough good things about Ansible. Just finished migrating 90% of our provisioning scripts away from Chef (they were due an overhaul anyways) to Ansible.

It feels liberating to say the least and knowing that I no longer have to train people to use Chef or worry about my remote Chef server going down unexpectedly is a big benefit.

Ansible:

- faster

- drop-dead simple syntax (easily extendable with modules)

- did I mention modules? There are a TON.

- readable playbooks

- just plain fun
