CLUE members, thanks for all the useful feedback.
Found some pertaining articles. This seems to sum up where development is going ... DevOps ... mix of development & IT operations. But you all knew this. :-)
Taking the Open Source Enterprise Plunge
http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/Taking-the-Open-Source-Enterprise-Plunge-78130.html
older article, but pertains ... The Chef, the Puppet, and the Sexy IT Admin
http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2011/10/chef_and_puppet/
>>> James, Thanks for the tip. http://katello.com/ looks very promising, but as per the http://www.katello.org/ FAQ's, it may not be supported on CentOS. Use depends upon the customer.
perhaps http://rundeck.org/ is an option
I might get to use ...
http://www.spacewalkproject.org/ provisions using Kickstart ... cool !
http://puppetlabs.com/
Going to be significant Tomcat deployments so this should help:

Plus the customer wants ...
for the developers, an Artifactory repo management server ... we'll use the pro version; here is the open version
http://www.jfrog.com/home/v_artifactory_opensource_overview
throw in some Jenkins ...
https://jenkins-ci.org/
Going to be an interesting summer for sure!
