I also came from operating one puppet environment to using ansible, and just like you the major sales points were ease of configuration with YAML and agentless deployment.<p>But development of the project has been fueled by skyrocketing participation. Myself and a friend of mine have both contributed small bits of code to the project without being professional developers, and looking at the github contributors they are in the thousands for a 3 year old project. Compare that to cfengine&#x27;s 73 contributors.
