The aim is to provide recipes for all configuration management systems (i.e Chef, Puppet, Salt, Ansible...) and provide two basic OS flavors: CentOS and Ubuntu.

I'm a little confused why simstack provides all the variations of configuration management systems and OS. It would be great if the above line could be elaborated to say why there are so many combinations, and what impact the different combinations have on me as a user of the box (i.e. do I need to learn puppet, ansible, salt, ... etc?).

Hi, simstack is really a hobby :) I am trying to learn all the configuration management systems, so I want to have a vagrant config for each one. If simstack was fully operational, you would just switch to the confi mgt system you want to use and forget about the others. If you just want to use shell provisioning there are bootstrap script that almost work :)

Hi @Runseb, thanks for the info. Is any of the provisioners working already? I don't have a preference which one as I would treat simstack as a blackbox. On Mar 17, 2014 3:39 PM, "runseb" notifications@github.com wrote:

the boostrap-ubuntu.sh used to work early in the 4.3 cycle. it may be broken now.
