Description

Bcfg2 is an open source configuration management system designed to help system administrators maintain consistent, secure, and up-to-date configurations across their servers. It is a client-server application where a central server stores and serves configuration data to clients. Bcfg2 uses a standardized XML-based format to store configuration data, which is then pushed out to the clients, enabling administrators to make configuration changes quickly and reliably. The core elements of Bcfg2 include a server, a client, a repository of configuration data, a set of plugins, and a set of tools for managing the configuration process. Bcfg2 is designed to be highly extensible, with an extensive set of plugins that enable administrators to customize the system to meet their specific needs. Bcfg2 can be used to manage a variety of server resources, including software packages, services, users, groups, files, and directories.
