Next Generation Config Mgmt

By James Shubin (purpleidea)

A presentation about a design for a next generation config management tool, and the specific problems this design solves.

Three of the main design features of the tool include:

  • Parallel execution
  • Event driven mechanism
  • Distributed architecture

This talk will demo a prototype I've built that implements these ideas. It is written in golang, and is completely free software.
