Hi Harry (and list) Just to expand on what George was saying.
Salt (http://saltstack.com) is a remote execution (fabric) and configuration management (puppet, chef) framework written in Python and using ZeroMQ as the transport. I do automation for a living, started with puppet but now prefer to use salt where possible - it's truly magic and catching on fast (it's one of the most active projects on GitHub). <shamelessplug> I gave a talk about using and extending Salt at the last London Python Meetup, the video is here if you're interested: http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/my-experience-of-using-server-management-framework-salt. </shamelessplug> You can use Salt to spin up cloud-based VMs as well configure them and there are Salt modules for managing the likes of virtualenv, databases and webservers. Looking forward to the TDD book : ) Kris -- Kris Saxton e: k...@automationlogic.com m: +447932834856 t: @KrisSaxton _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
