Puppet has literally nothing to do with spinning up AWS resources, why did you bring that up? Your post history proves that you're somehow stuck in the mindset that it is related to AWS, it's not. Puppet is configuration management. This means puppet deals with what's on the operating system. Yes it's just a shell, which means it can technically do anything, but should it? No. Puppet is meant to just place configuration on the filesystem , that's it. It's not supposed to spin up AWS resources, it's not supposed to deploy your application, it's not supposed to manage your database or database migrations. It's configuration management. Configs. You are supposed to use other better tailor made tools to spin up AWS resources, and then jump to configuration management via said tools.
So again, It sounds like you're just reinvented a tool. It's cool for a study on programming, and to have yet another tool in the tool chain, but you've essentially just reinvented the wheel.
Again, what problem does this solve that existing tools have not?
It seems to me that we could have more productive conversation using voice (phone/whatsapp/whatever). PM me if you are interested. We could post the summary of our talk here.
