Which is better - chef or puppet?

Question

Could someone tell me which is better Chef or Puppet?

Answer 1

Both Chef and Puppet are configuration management tools that are used by organizations around the world for deploying, configuring, and managing servers. The chef is more programming friendly, and Puppet is more system friendly. So, the best tool correct for you depends on your requirements, the way your team is, that is more inclined towards coding or system? Puppet is more system friendly so, it will be better suited to System administrators, if they are more in your team, then this is the tool to go with. Whereas Chef is more coding friendly that is, it suits better if you have a team that has more developers in it.
