cdist - Configuration management system
|

|

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
Cdist is a very simple, elegant, cleanly designed configuration management
|
|
|
|
|
system. The easiest way to get started with cdist is to run cdist-quickstart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cdist configurations are written in the shell scripting language.
|
|
|
|
|
The mapping of configurations to hosts is defined in so called manifests,
|
|
|
|
|
logical units of functionality are called "types" in cdist jargon.
|
|
|
|
|
Cdist ships with some types included. You can use or change them, create new
|
|
|
|
|
ones or even submit your types for inclusion into cdist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main command is cdist-deploy-to, which runs several stages to push
|
|
|
|
|
configurations to a host. If you want to deeply understand cdist, reading
|
|
|
|
|
the source of cdist-deploy-to is recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
Cdist currently uses the push approach (a server pushes out the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration to the clients), but future version will also support the
|
|
|
|
|
pull mechanism (client requests configuration).
