We use it at work to manage just over 100 servers and it works well. Tips?
Yes: start small. Start with something really, really simple, then slowly
build from there. Use modules from day one. Define, before you start, what
you want to achieve. We're still growing our Puppet use, but currently we
install packages, set up basic configuration, set up Nagios/NRPE, manage
ssh keys, configure logcheck, configure Shorewall, manage system updates
on Debian, plus a few other things. We have plans to do a lot more as
Puppet has made managing this number of servers significantly easier.
