According to the chart Ansible has been around since 2005? Salt is barely 2 years old?
Look at the uptick of the last few months and SaltStack seems ever slightly steeper than Ansible.
I am SaltStack guy, albeit a newbie. Barely got done installing (much much easier than Puppet) and trying out few commands. I was hooked on SaltStack when I was able to run following command once and get result from multiple machines near simultaneously.
> salt "*" cmd.run "df -h'
I get result from all machines near simultaneously.
Above command is same as you logging into each machine (say hundreds or thousands) and running 'df -h' to see status of your storage space. You could write/test/deploy a shell script and push it out to all those machines. Or set up some monitoring system. Or install SaltStack across your network (very simple to do) and run above command once on your SaltStack server and get immediate feedback.
I tried working with Puppet long time ago. The idea of having 20 minute window for pushing out changes never seemed attractive to me.
