  • Ansible is written in Python supported with YAML scripts. Puppet is written in Ruby that supports Domain Specific Language with Ruby. The chef is written in Ruby with DSL and has prototype programming.
  • There is only one active node for its configuration, whereas Puppet and Chef follow master-slave architecture.
  • In order to configure nodes, Ansible utilize ssh running system. In Puppet and Chef, only the client can configure the machine and server for the system.
  • For configuration, Ansible does not use Virtual Machines. Puppet needs a client certificate for client system configuration. In Chef, a workstation that is a container of all configurations passes the configuration to the master.
  • The configuration settings are easy in Ansible. In Puppet and Chef, this is a hectic process.
  • YAML language is used to manage the configuration in Ansible. Puppet utilize Puppet DSL, and Ruby DSL is used in Chef.
  • One need not be a programmer to manage configuration in Ansible. Since Puppet and Ruby are used in the other two tools, one should know to a program to manage the tools.

  • Ansible has the remote facility for the execution of configuration while Puppet and Chef take time for the execution.
  • The configuration is pushed to the nodes by a server in Ansible. In Puppet and Chef, the client machine has to pull the configuration to the nodes.
  • Ansible is comparatively new when compared with Puppet and Chef.
  • The initial setup in Ansible is easy, while it is difficult in Puppet and Chef.
  • The focus is mainly on computer automation in Ansible. In Puppet, it checks the progress of Puppet DSL over Ruby. DevOps automation is the focus of Chef.
  • Configurations are distributed to all nodes by a push and pull method in Ansible. In Puppet, there is only a push process. Chef supports only the pull process.
  • It is better to install root access ssh and python for the proper workflow in Ansible. In Puppet and Chef, python ssh and are not needed.
