Finding a specific server orchestration/automation tool
Alright, so I've been looking into server orchestration and automation tools like (R)?ex and Ansible and I remember looking at one about a month ago but I can't seem to find it again! The webpage had an image of two server cabinet rows converging towards the middle and I remember kind of a fancy ampersand somewhere in the title or brief description of the tool. It was a light colored website iirc and I have spent at least an hour looking through my history to see if I can find it but no go. If anyone can help me out, that would be pretty awesome of you.

No takers?? More hours spent on the Googles and GitHuband still nothing
I remember it dealt with server automation/orchestration but perhaps the wording was different?
was it called NOC-PS ?
Cf engine
Puppet
Salt
Fabric
Chef?
Ah, I wish guys! Already looked through all of them but no go. I've even built up quite the list just trying to look for the one I was looking for!
http://ansible.cc/ ?
cfengine is great and it works. https://cfengine.com/
The ' Desired State' functionality is very powerful. You can have self-healing / updating servers without ever doing anything.
salt
I use saltstack, it isn't bad

Wonder if he's referring g to ansible.
Nope, not Ansible or Archipel
I'm convinced I must have been doing mushrooms or something at the time and just completely made this up in my head.
Is it open sourced?
Capistrano?
Not Capistrano either.
But hey, the upside to this whole thing is that now there's almost a complete list of automation/deployment/orchestration tools. Well, minus the one I was looking for...
Any other clues? I'm curious to know which one it is.
What language was it written in? Quite possible the website had an facelift. I know ansible updated their website recently.
Honestly, all I remember was roughly what the front page looked like. And I checked archive.org for Ansible back in January and it's still the same basic design (http://web.archive.org/web/20130116123744/http://ansible.cc/). I tried looking through my history but that ended up being hopeless even after taking out any entries with google, imgur, and reddit.
Also, I know I visited the page since the beginning of February which is upsetting me as to why I can't find it.

How did you originally find the site? Through google? If so, you might be able to find it in your Google Web History. I forget exactly how to find it, but Google keeps a record of the searches you've done, and which results you clicked, and makes them publicly accessible to you.
It definitely had nothing to do with Puppet or Chef. I took a look at Salt back in Feb but still not the one I'm thinking of (http://web.archive.org/web/20130215202756/http://saltstack.com/). I just remember very clearly a large ampersand in the
Looking through my search history right now which I only enabled starting on the 14 of Feb so hopefully it will still show up there.
Go through this thread.

Nothing in Google search history but I'm checking before Feb 14 in my browser for Google searches that might turn something up.

The elusive orchestration tool was not found there either.
OK this has to be it.

I think that's the URL or just Google for fai debian

Noupe! Let's see if I can't get a quick mock-up going though.
Damnit lol
Any idea what its written in? Would def help narrow it down.
Right?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't written in Ruby which narrows it down to C, Python, or possibly Lua(?). I know, it doesn't help much...
The big "hero" image was similar to this: http://i.imgur.com/0hGH64m.jpg but it filled up almost the width of the page and the racks were more white than black and there was an ampersand that sort of looked like this: http://i.imgur.com/o7fh0Tu.png
Server automation or os provisioning like cobbler?
I want to say server automation but that might just be because I want to think it's server automation.
The ampersand sign reminds me of func.

Go fish. Definitely a custom page (probably made with Bootstrap) so nothing like trac.
