Is your community healthy? Metrics on the top CM software


In this talk, I'll illustrate and analyze the health of the top configuration-management software, as well as making data-driven predictions and looking at major showstoppers. I'm going to draw comparisons across communities as well as within them, to make it clear where the critical mass and acceleration are.

Drawing on data from a wide variety of sources like GitHub, Stack Overflow, bug trackers, external modules, and mailing lists, I'll illustrate and analyze the health of the top configuration-management software. By looking at historical data, we can also make some rough predictions about future directions as well as pitfalls to avoid. I'll draw comparisons across communities like Puppet, Chef, CFEngine, Ansible, and SaltStack to help you understand where things stand today and where they're headed in the future.
