If you are like us, you like to run infrastructures and you like to
have things open and simple. For this reason we created cdist, the
Swiss configuration management system.

It is written in Python3, but only requires an SSH server on the hosts
that you want to configure.

Find out more about it on the [cdist homepage](https://cdi.st).
