Deploy Sinatra applications with Puppet
To setup the server run:
fab host:<host fqdn> setup puppet_init puppet_run
That will run Fabric command, go and update server repositories, set hostname and timezone, clone this repo to /opt, update it's submodules and do a Puppet run with no Puppet server required. Puppet will then take over in installing all required packages needed to install the application(apache, app) and secure the server(iptables, ssh).
For all consequent runs:
fab host:<host fqdn> puppet_run
Sample node definition is available in nodes/test.node.pp
The code was tested on Ubuntu and Debian AMIs.

This can be combined with salt-cloud to automate the provisioning of the servers at EC2, Rackspace or Linode.
This command could be part of Fabric script with local() call to provision Debian machine at Linode:
sudo salt-cloud -p rea puppet-sinatra.test
/etc/salt/cloud.providers
linode:
provider: linode
apikey:
# Defalut root password
password:
# Location ID, '3' is Fremont, CA, USA. List with `sudo salt-cloud --list-locations linode_insights`
location: 3
/etc/salt/cloud.profiles
rea:
provider: linode_insights
image: 77 # Debian 6
size: Linode 1024
deploy: False # Don't install Salt on the host
