Solved by what, Puppet and the like? It's simply too easy to get your machine into an inconsistent state as a result of someone fiddling around, and God forbid you switch from Ubuntu to CentOS or something like that.

I find it's easier to make the OS part as simple as possible and use Docker for everything else since you can strictly enforce that your Dockerfile will always build the same way regardless of which OS you build it on.

This is my experience with Chef/Vagrant and one of the principal reasons we're moving our deployment over to Docker with CoreOS. Using etcd/skydns for service discovery and fleet to deploy containers. So far it's going very well, much easier than Chef ever was.
