<p>cdist &minus; Configuration management system</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Cdist is a usable configuration
management system. The easiest way to get started with cdist
is to initialise the environment and run
cdist&minus;quickstart:</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">eval
&lsquo;./bin/cdist&minus;env&lsquo; &amp;&amp;
cdist&minus;quickstart</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Cdist configurations are written
in the shell scripting language. The mapping of
configurations to hosts is defined in so called manifests,
logical units of functionality are called &quot;types&quot;
in cdist jargon. Cdist ships with some types included. You
can use or change them, create new ones or even submit your
types for inclusion into cdist.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">The main command is
cdist&minus;deploy&minus;to, which runs several stages to
push configurations to a host. If you want to deeply
understand cdist, reading the source of
cdist&minus;deploy&minus;to is recommended. Cdist currently
uses the push approach (a server pushes out the
configuration to the clients), but future version will also
support the pull mechanism (client requests
configuration).</p>
