[Devops] blueprint

[Lukas Fittl]

Still haven't found the time to play around with it, but it sure looks awesome.

And maybe to give some (business) context:

Blueprint was developed by the founder of Slicehost, Matt Tanase.
Blueprint was his new startup - first he tried to make it commercially
viable, but didn't work out, so they open-sourced it:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2344080 "So, how would they go
about monetizing this thing?" "we don't know, hence the open-sourcing.
[...] Our current direction which should be open for testing in April
is a hosted Puppet service."

Cheers,
Lukas
