Hi Jason - Maybe it will become Whirr NextGen someday but that's not my goal.
Provisionr is more like a Lego box now. It's fixing some shortcomings in Whirr (plugin system, process persistence, dashboards etc.) but it's far from being really useful out of the box. You can do some awesome things if you integrate it with Rundeck and add a fair amount of custom code as illustrated by the following videos (make sure you also check the description links): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJ4sHFWioA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHwyQgHSMvk During the last release I've wrote a quick start guide that may be useful to you: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PROVISIONR/Quick+Start+Guide My focus in development is on making Provisionr useful for deploying large Hadoop clusters based on the Cloudera distribution.
