| 5 | | Bcfg2 is a tool that aids in the administration of complex environments. |
| 6 | | Using its server-side configuration specification, Bcfg2: |
| 7 | | * Deploys configuration changes |
| 8 | | * Reports on deployment status |
| 9 | | * Detects configuration deviations |
| 10 | | |
| 11 | | Bcfg2 can be used to describe: |
| 12 | | * Single configuration entities (Configuration files, packages, services, etc) |
| 13 | | * Full service configurations |
| 14 | | * Complex multi-machine configurations with subtle interdependencies |
| 15 | | |
| 16 | | All of this information is synthesized into a form that aids in the communication |
| 17 | | of system architecture and administrative policies. |
| | 5 | Bcfg2 is a configuration management tool, similar to LCFG, CFengine or Puppet. It helps system administrators to describe and deploy complex configurations across |
| | 6 | pools of unix systems. Unlike these tools, Bcfg2 offers unique analysis features that helps administrators to cope with the ever-increasing complexity of our networks. |
| | 7 | Bcfg2 has been designed with the needs of medium to large-sized administrative teams and complex configurations in mind, though it scales down well. |
