Bcfg2

TracNav

Bcfg2 is a tool that aids in the administration of complex environments. Using its server-side configuration specification, Bcfg2:

• Deploys configuration changes
• Reports on deployment status
• Detects configuration deviations

Bcfg2 can be used to describe:

• Single configuration entities (Configuration files, packages, services, etc)
• Full service configurations
• Complex multi-machine configurations with subtle interdependencies

All of this information is synthesized into a form that aids in the communication of system architecture and administrative policies.

Bcfg2 is fairly portable. It has been successfully run on:

• Debian (and Ubuntu)
• RPM-based Linux distributions (Redhat, SuSE, SLES, RHEL, and Mandrake)
• Solaris
