= 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
