Next Generation Config Mgmt

A presentation about a next gen config management tool, and the specific problems this project solves.

Three of the main design features of the tool include: * Parallel execution * Event driven mechanism * Distributed architecture

This talk will demo a prototype I've built that implements these ideas and which is written in golang. I will start by presenting an introduction to the tool. I will then demo the new features that were added since the project was introduced. This will include the automatic grouping, automatic elastic etcd clustering and remote execution features. I will finally share some of the future planned designs for the tool.

An introductory blog post on the subject is available. https://ttboj.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/next-generation-configuration-mgmt/ Attendees are encouraged to read it before the talk if they are interested!

Please note that this talk was originally scheduled to be given at 15:00. The talk originally in this slot, "Puppet Catalog Diffs in TheForeman" by Greg Sutcliffe will now take place at 15:00.
