[Magallanes] another tool written in PHP with simple configuration done in YAML files. It has support for multiple servers and environments, atomic deployment, and have some built in tasks that you can leverage for common tools and frameworks.
[Chef] is more than a deployment framework, it is a very powerful Ruby based system integration framework that doesn't just deploy your app but can build your whole server environment or virtual boxes.
#### Chef resources for PHP developers:

### Server Provisioning
Managing and configuring servers can be a daunting task when faced with many servers. There are tools for dealing with this so you can automate your infrastructure to make sure you have the right servers and that they're configured properly. They often integrate with the larger cloud hosting providers (Amazon Web Services, Heroku, DigitalOcean, etc) for managing instances, which makes scaling an application a lot easier.
[Ansible] is a tool that manages your infrastructure through YAML files. It's simple to get started with and can manage complex and large scale applications. There is an API for managing cloud instances and it can manage them through a dynamic inventory using certain tools.
[Puppet] is a tool that has its own language and file types for managing servers and configurations. It can be used in a master/client setup or it can be used in a "master-less" mode. In the master/client mode the clients will poll the central master(s) for new configuration on set intervals and update itself if necessary. In the master-less mode you can push changes to your nodes.
[Chef] is a powerful Ruby based system integration framework that you can build your whole server environment or virtual boxes with. It integrates well with Amazon Web Services through their service called OpsWorks.
