Another interesting Red Hat backed project in the same field of server management and deployment is The Foreman http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.4/index.html
Founder of https://commando.io here. Cockpit looks nice, but we take a little different approach. We are a web-based interface to manage servers via SSH. You write "recipes" which are simply scripts in shell, bash, perl, python, ruby, go, or node.js and choose a server or group of servers to execute recipes on.
