If you're still fighting with Chef slowness, hard to debug, complicated setup, you may want to consider Pyinfra.

It is very well thoughout and simple to design and run.

It targets a different audience overall.

I've been using it a bit, and I like it. However, it is a lot more like programming in Python (rather than defining configuration) when you do anything outside the normal rails.

That's not a bad thing, but it is a different thing.

Still testing it more, and my needs are different than everyone else's, but so far I wouldn't say to anyone who already uses Chef, Ansible, Salt, etc. they could switch to Pyinfra, because the 'core' tool for automation is similar, but the ecosystem is altogether different.

I am moving some of my personal projects over to Pyinfra though, but for now mostly to flesh out my own understanding of it—my main stuff is all still Ansible.
