We use Ansible because it's simple to write recipes (they are just YAML files) and simple to deploy (you just need a working SSH setup and you don't need a master server). We were reluctant to automate our devops with Chef and Puppet. Discovering Ansible was a relief.

We use chef currently but some of the new devops team have more experience with puppet, so looking for suggestions about how much success people are having with either (or others).

Ansible. Easy to use, no client installation required.
