Puppet

Puppet is a cross-platform open-source configuration management framework 
written in Ruby. Puppet can be used for simple one-off administration 
tasks, but its primary focus is on providing centralized, automated server 
management. Its development is based on years of experience with existing 
tools like Cfengine and provides significant functional enhances over 
previous generations, and it is already in production use around the 
world. This talk will discuss what you can do with Puppet and why you 
should use it, along with some discussion of future plans.
