The Opscode Platform beta release of the Opscode Platform is a hosted configuration management service.

"With the advent of cloud computing and virtualization, it is easier than ever to create new servers on demand. Very quickly, a bottleneck has developed around the configuration management layer, where files are written and packages are installed as new server infrastructure is built and maintained.
