Description-en: Usable Configuration Management System
cdist is a usable configuration management system.
It adheres to the KISS principle and is being used in
small up to enterprise grade environments. It has the
following noteworthy features:
.
* shell scripting configuration language
* access to all control structures (if, case, for, while)
* idempotent target properties
* zero-dependencies: target system need only /bin/sh and ssh
* push-based distribution
* highly-scalable
.
cdist is an alternative to other configuration management systems
like cfengine, bcfg2, chef and puppet.
