Sexy stores inventory information in a **cconfig database** and
|
|
|
|
|
adapts to your environment by supporting custom backends.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short, sexy can create and remove hosts and configure networks -
|
|
|
|
|
depending on your backend this means:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* sexy manages Virtual Machines

|
|
|
|
* sexy sets up your domain name system (DNS)
