Founder of https://commando.io here. We are a web based interface for doing remote executions via SSH. Our approach is a beautiful web interface with no external dependencies (agents). Salt and Ansible are amazing, but they still have a bit of a learning curve and setup "costs". Our target market also tends to be less technically proficient, and thus not willing to dive into more robust solutions. Think cPanel for operations. SandBOx, if you'd like to try out Commando.io, let me know, and I'll get you a private beta invite.

A giant database of SSH keys from people who can't setup basic operational tools?
Jesus, and I thought the CDCs "big vault full of things that will kill you" was a terrible idea...
My Ansible learning curve was 5 minutes.

I'm betting it would have been 2 if there were better examples. The concept is trivial to get and the reference is great, but a few more fleshed-out examples would be nice.
After having used it for a while, I adore it. One minute and one command to go from a new project to a full deployment, what more can you ask.
