Okay, so automated configuration management isn't exactly news to DZoners. (Seriously -- we have a whole Microzone devoted to DevOps alone.) But when Wired Enterprise picks up a technology, you know it's beginning to catch on.

Plus some pithy contributions by Luke Kanies, the Puppet Master, and Jesse Robbins, the Master Chef.
