I get the impression that more people on the ML are using a config management system. ceph-deploy questions seem to come from new users following the quick start guide.
I know both Puppet and Chef are fairly well represented here. I've seen a few posts about Salt and Ansible, but not much. Calamari is built on top of Salt, so I suppose that means Salt is well represented. I really haven't seen anything from the CFEngine or Bcfg2 camps. I'm personally using Chef with a private fork of the Ceph cookbook. The Ceph cookbook doesn't use ceph-deploy, but it does use ceph-disk. Whenever I have problems with the ceph-disk command, I first go look at the cookbook to see how it's doing things.
