In the context of the OpenStack CI, James E. Blair wrote http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/nodepool/tree/ which is described in the Nodepool part of http://amo-probos.org/post/15 It seems a good an minimal candidate to provision machines. I'm on irc.freenode.net#openstack-infra where all these tools are discussed and will try to understand more about "gear".

Cheers

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.
