Hi,
I'd like to announce a new tool I've been working on called pave for batch
setup of machines. Yet another one, true... I wasn't happy with those I've
encountered and it has been fun, since I used fabric to do the hard work.
It's simpler than Chef, Puppet, Salt, etc. and works mostly like Ansible,
although it doesn't upload scripts unless you ask. Find it here:
https://bitbucket.org/mixmastamyk/pave/
https://pave.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pave/
Basically you give it a Yaml file and it directs fabric to do whatever
you might need. Please report issues at bitbucket.
