Thanks for the reply. I have tried example cloud setup using the link I mentioned. I am trying to setup solr on all 16 nodes + 1 external zookeeper on 1 of the node. That’s when I find out about Chef and Puppet.
My problem is manually setting and start/stop solr does not seem that efficient to me and I wanted to sought community's suggestion.

You have two problems to solve 1> putting Solr on all the nodes and starting/stopping it. Puppet or Chef help here, although it's perfectly possible to do this manually. 2> creating collecitons etc. For this you just need all your Solr instances communicating with the Zookeeper you have set up. So tell us what you have tried and what you are having problems with and perhaps we can offer more specific suggestions.
