Cfengine is a relatively simple platform to implement the hard cluster configuration management problem. Cluster hosts are associated with autonomous agents and communication between them is based on the common configuration platform. There are some tasks which can be solved with cfengine:
To get things done cfengine uses the administrator-defined configuration templates (or configuration policies). From this view, the software itself is working as the configuration platform or "a configuration manager". Every host in the cluster with installed cfengine package is managed by the configuration manager. The management itself declared as a set of logically grouped policies, and each host implements a subset from the whole policies. The cfengine can work as a maintenance tool to setup a complete host or a set of software associated with the host. The policies to manage maintenance are grouped into tasks in the reference installation. Thus, there is site, os, app groups of tasks. The current set of cfengine policies can be found into the reference installation codebase repository. |
