Subject: | An Introduction to Configuration Management Using Bcfg2 |
Presenter: | Ian Dotson |
Bcfg2 was developed at Argonne National Laboratory to provide system
administrators with a tool to describe their systems and make
consistent, verifiable changes. I’ll be giving a brief introduction to
Bcfg2 and how it can be used to to model and automate system
configuration in your environment.
