No, they're not. The tools exist if you're already a Puppet slash Ansible slash CFengine slash Chef slash Salt slash whatever-flavor-you-decide-to-package guru. For everyone else you need a reliable, fully automatic detection system which can feed the configuration management engine and handle all of the exceptions and snowflakes and other unique things you'll find in a contemporary begadgeted home or the organically grown enterprise and everything in between. Nobody to date has been able to create such a detection system and not for lack of trying. It's the holy grail of systems monitoring. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
