-
- * Speed
- * Elegant code
- * Clean design
+ * Elegant code and clean design
+ * Type and core cleanly seperated
+ * Small codebase in core
* Good documentation (man pages)
- * Meaningful error messages
- * The no surprise factor
* Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
+ * Meaningful error messages
+ * Either standard error messages from tools or added description for clearification
+ * The no surprise factor
+ * No magic guessing of what the user wants

Core:
- support $__self = relative_type/object_id
- - cache
-
-Cache:
- Assume you want to configure stuff one host ("monitor node"),
- depending on the configuration of other hosts ("cluster nodes").
-
- For instance, the monitor host would like to know,
- which hosts are configured with the provider
- "apache" and option --start true.
-
- This requires the monitor node to be able to
- query all other configured nodes. It can't
- ask for all hosts, because cdist does not
- know which hosts are configured or may exist.
-
- Example implementation
-
- If cdist keeps ("caches") the configuration of every
- node it configures, each new node can query the
- cache for existing nodes that acquired the given
- configuration.

Cdist configurations are written in the shell scripting language.
The mapping of configurations to hosts is defined in so called manifests,
