Review: Puppet Vs. Chef Vs. Ansible Vs. Salt
snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Paul Venezia provides an in-depth review of Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and Salt — four leading configuration management and orchestration tools, each of which takes a different path to server automation. 'Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and Salt were all built with that very goal in mind: to make it much easier to configure and maintain dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of servers. That's not to say that smaller shops won't benefit from these tools, as automation and orchestration generally make life easier in an infrastructure of any size. I looked at each of these four tools in depth, explored their design and function, and determined that, while some scored higher than others, there's a place for each to fit in, depending on the goals of the deployment. Here, I summarize my findings.'"
In English, unlike many other languages, a double negative means a positive (sarcasm aside). The guy is agreeing with you.
It's a Thai name.
Not only Italian, but other latin languages too like Portuguese. In fact, we have to make a deliberate effort in order not to use double negatives in English.
Well, I didn't throw Ender's Game out there because Orson Scott Card's use of it was one of the latter references. Ursul K. Le Guin came up with it in Rocannon's World, and her 1974 novel "The Dispossessed" works through the invention of it.
OSC borrowed the term.
