similar - yes. both use a client/server setup (and can also be standalon). puppet is easier to use vs cfengine3 in terms of the syntax. puppet manifests can be easily created from scratch compared to cfengine3 promises. but cfengine is lighter vs ruby-based puppet and that's important to us as most of our AIX LPARs have very limited CPU and Memory allocation. not sure about how similar it is with OCSNG - i only used OCS for h/w and s/w inventory which also work OK with AIX. > On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 7:44 PM, erik<[email protected]> wrote: >> Noong Wednesday 31,August,2011 01:31 PM sinulat ni John Li >> >>> Hi guys, >>> >>> anyone here knows a good centralized open source software deployment that >>> can run on any windows envi. for your suggestion please..
