This is kind of cool, and (in my humble opinion) a sign of changing times: Juniper has Vagrant boxes as well as a Vagrant plugin for working with vSRX (virtual firewall) VMs (via this article from Matt Oswalt). Kevin Houston’s March 2015 blade server comparisons might be a useful place to start. Servers/Hardware. Virtualization.

Anthony Burke (disclaimer: Anthony works for VMware in the NSBU) has a post on how to use Python to automate the bulk creation of firewall rules for use with the VMware NSX distributed firewall. I found this post comparing Ansible and Salt to be quite helpful, particularly given some of the comparisons with Puppet.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
