Ask HN: How do you automate your server provisioning?
My goal is to fully automate spinning up servers&#x2F;environments, with, for example, a MySQL installation with users&#x2F;data. I would like to automate this provisioning via a script or some sort.<p>I know docker can do this, but I need to be able to run this on bare metal. Is saltstack the way to go, or Chef, or Puppet?<p>I would prefer not to run a daemon on the target machine.
