My friend asked me to provision a server for him, which had windows server on it already. I literally d/led minimal centos7, burned on disc, and booted off it. I didnt even have to get into command line to type in confusing shit with forward slashes and use autistic commands like "fdisk" and "mount" why is it so easy anons? How are you nix admins not out of a job yet?

Now orchestrate that in a stream lined fashion in colo or with a cloud provider. Throw config management into the mix with a shit load of machines and services that are pretty interdependent.

And? Puppet doesn't solve all your problems. You still need a good, automated way to do kickstarts/pxe booting that can be maintained well before you can even get to a state that puppet can run.
Even then puppet is definitely not perfect. This is especially apparent when you start to get to a pretty monolithic number of machines. The average puppet run on our machines takes a good five minutes because of how large the catalog is. It's responsible for keeping 1500 colo'd machines in line, and it's definitely not fun to debug puppet problems when you have a variety of systems in the wild.
