Talk at ConFoo.ca Web Techno Conference (English - US)
What system administrator has not at one point in his life written custom tools to help manage the complexity of his job? At first simple scripts, such programs have evolved today to sophisticated tools, called configuration management systems, able to manage thousands of servers.
No need to pay high fees for commercial products since today's open source alternatives are mature, robust and scalable.
Several tools are available, each based on different governing principles. Puppet, for instance, proposes a custom language based on a declarative engine, whereas Bcfg2 offers an XML-driven descriptive modeling engine. Other alternatives often cited includes Chef and Cfengine.
What tools are best for your needs? This conference proposes to enlighten you on the available options on the market.
