Wall PapersBernhard Glomm will give a introductory session of CFEngine
Cfengine, or the configuration engine is an autonomous agent and a middle to high level policy language and agent for building expert systems to administrate and configure large computer networks. Cfengine is designed to be a part of a computer immune system. It is ideal for cluster management and has been adopted for use all over the world in small and huge organizations alike.
this is a chance to learn about an advanced administration tool from someone who uses it in his daily work. <!--break-->
Session Plan
- short introduction, me, what i've worked in (mainly debian, fai, cfengine)
- cfengine, what is it, why using, what are possible benefits
- basic concept of cfengine: actions, classes, modules
- explanation of a simple basic example:
- /etc/cfengine/cfagent.conf - will give an impression of a basic cfengine configuration
- /etc/cfengine/cf.cairo - if the cfengine code that take the variable and edit the target (i.e. /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
- /etc/cfcairo/cairomodule.pl - we have to export this "variable=value" for cfengine
- /etc/cfcairo/cairovar - we want to hold our values to be pushed to the configuration, let's say ssh password auth yes or no... maybe other
- To close the explanation i will give some short hints on how cfengine will work in a network ("single point of administration") i guess there will not be enough time to prepare an environment to show an example on this. But with the basics you should be able to go ahead with it.
