Er, for what kind of hardware (or it is for VM applications, or what)?
I've have used and deployed Puppet on 'normal' servers, and looked at
those others as well, and as far as I've seen they are *far* too heavy
for a *typical* router scenario, which is currently OpenWrt/LEDE primary
target, at least if you want anything besides the management itself (and
in many cases not even being able to fit the whole required stack).
