I'm using Flightplan (https://github.com/pstadler/flightplan) which was posted on HN a while ago. All it does is provides a thin layer (albeit one with liberally applied DSL) on top of SSH which helps manage production/dev automated deployments.
This is after two tries to get my company over to a Vagrant based setup, once using puppet and a second using bash scripts. Unfortunately neither got us off the ground fast enough to make it viable.
