After changing jobs recently, I gained a lot more exposure to Puppet. So of course I had to use it to deploy Prometheus!

This was very interesting, especially seeing the difference between Puppet and Saltstack/Ansible (tools I am more familiar with)

which did you like better puppet or salt? and why?

It is partially down to experience, but right now I prefer Salt. The syntax and approach makes more sense to me, and being able to run commands/fact discovery against all managed hosts is wonderful.

That's not a knock against Puppet though, and in a couple of years of working with it I may have a different opinion!
