We're currently using puppet to setup our physical and virtual (zones & vmware vms) solaris boxen. Puppet is a step into the right direction but only part of the solution - a handy tool to describe, setup and manage single systems, replacing the trusty old shell scripts every administrator has in his tool belt.
With puppet, you can describe how your application server should look, how your database server should look but not how this two interact.
You can't describe relationships between two or more puppetized hosts.
You can't tell puppet that the application server service should not start until the database is ready.
There are tools which are able to handle this cases. Capistrano and ControlTier come to mind.
