Integrating Rudder and CFEngine Mission Portal
Nicolas Charles - Tuesday, February 2, 15:40-16:20 - B3.036
Rudder and Mission Portal are both UI for configuration management, with different fundamentals and goals. While Rudder allows users to define rules, configure systems, and measure compliance on defined rules in the UI, Mission Portal gives very detailed reporting on everything that happens on the systems, but requires users to code their configuration.
Combining both tools brings the best of both worlds:
- easily manage your systems, and see what is configured
- drill down into the fine details when necessary, and get auto-learning graphs.
This talk will present the architecture, challenges and benefits of this integration, and will finish by a demo of this integration between Rudder 3.2 and CFEngine Mission Portal 3.7
