Configuration management tools are evaluated on two practical examples. With first we wanted to find out their entry barrier or in other words, we wanted to find out how much time it’s needed to install the tool and to build something trivial such as a web server. After that we chose the best two, which would compete on second example. Latter had task to build bigger system and we chose cloud computing software platform OpenStack. We compared tool’s used constructs and approaches. At the end we chose the winning tool, based on ease of configuration and important technical properties.
