Hi everyone, I have released a tool called Wirbelsturm (https://github.com/miguno/wirbelsturm) that allows you to perform local and remote deployments of Storm. It's also a small way of saying a big "thank you" to the Storm community.
Wirbelsturm uses Vagrant for creating and managing machines, and Puppet for provisioning the machines once they're up and running. You can also use Ansible to interact with deployed machines. Deploying Storm is but one example, of course -- you can deploy other software with Wirbelsturm as well (e.g. Graphite, Kafka, Redis, ZooKeeper). I also wrote a quick intro and behind-the-scenes blog post at [1], which covers, for instance, the motivation behind building Wirbelsturm and lessons learned along the way (read: mistakes made :-P). Enjoy! Michael [1] http://www.michael-noll.com/blog/2014/03/17/wirbelsturm-one-click-deploy-storm-kafka-clusters-with-vagrant-puppet/
