THX!
If you're serious, and not a script-kiddie, take a look at Puppet - it's stupidly powerful, and also (for the most part), completely OS independent - I use the same Puppet code to manage Ubuntu and CentOS VPSes.
I use it on both of my MX servers so that if they die, I can bring them back online from a vanilla install in 10 minutes flat, including custom users, SSH keys, packages, and my entire MTA stack (Postfix, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, BIND, SSL certs - and I have some really funky SpamAssassin configuration!).
Seriously, check it out.
FYI, Centmin Mod also has a beta version and currently testing Nginx HTTP/2 if you want to give it a spin http://centminmod.com/http2-nginx.html

Last time I looked at Puppet it had no real advantages over just writing a bash script. I just put everything I need configured in a monolithic bash script. For expensive operations, it uses simple checks to see if they've already been done. Simple idempotent operations (which is most stuff) are just re-run at every invocation.
You really can't equate Puppet with Bash scripts - they're completely different. Puppet is a hugely important tool if you're managing a server farm, or managing cross-OS. For example, my VMware Tools Puppet module works on Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and SuSE.
You can also modularise your configuration and even use Hiera to pass different parameters based on arbitrary facts returned by Puppet, for example the machine's hostname, FQDN or even custom facts written in any language.
Puppet also has community-contributed modules to manage pretty much any kind of application out there - Apache, Nginx, MySQL, Postgres, PHP, Java, JBOSS. All you need to do for 90% of your manifests is just use the community and wrap those modules.
In relative terms, Puppet is to monolithic Bash scripts what Java is to Assembler. Both tools are a nice way of managing a server, but if you want to do things at scale without spending a load of time writing/debugging/testing your own stuff, Puppet is the only way. Try writing a GUI in Assembler
