As Joseba indicated, try Ansible. Salt Stack also has an "agentless" mode.
I use Ansible to deploy / configure Subversion and mirrors. And of course, then you can track your configuration changes in version control. As this question is somewhat off topic from this mailing list, I suggest learning more about Ansible & Salt Stack, and asking in the appropriate forums for those. Eric.
