Rudder - Config Management for Everyone?
summary
Rudder is a configuration management system that uses a small CFEngine-based agent, relays and a master to manage Unix, Linux and Windows nodes. The demo shows a 25-node setup with a web UI, built-in change requests and audit logs backed by Git, key-managed node acceptance, an API that can export groups as an Ansible inventory, and real compliance metrics (about 92% patched) with live application of policies and failure reporting.
