discussion searches :

• configuration managment
• puppet ansible

a couple of discussions :

• 1 : Which configuration management software would/should you use in 2020?
• 2 : Ask HN: Chef, Ansible, Puppet- When to Use Configuration Management?
• 3 : Configuration (mis)management or why I hate puppet, ansible, salt, etc.
  The value here is mostly in the comments discussing alternatives.
