Here are my thoughts:

- Consistent, repeatable configuration across any number of machines.
- Speedy to push configuration across any number of machines.
- Ease of Implementation (modules handle differences across families of Linux).
- Declarative description of end state vs having to know the details of how to do it.
- Compliance management is easy when run playbooks/workflows on a schedule.
- Easy to do one-off updates for zero-day vulnerabilities.
- When integrated with a service portal request system it enables end-user self-service for complex configurations.
