chat, is saltstack still viable or is it dead, expired, ceased to be, bereft of life and killed by broadcom?

and if not saltstack, then what?

(i know puppet, chef and ansible well, and am looking for a recommendation about a configuration management tooling of near-production quality that preferably isn't one of the three above)

#SaltStack #Puppet #Chef #Ansible #ConfigurationManagement #CMS

Use ruby gems? If so, you should probably read this and some more f the material it links to. Bravo @OverlookInfraTech
