We chose this architecture, as opposed to one with a smarter client, for a few reasons: * Client failure forces administrators to perform an O(n) reconfiguration operation. Simpler code is easier to debug and maintain. -* Minimize the bootstrap size; a complicated client can require more aspects of the system to function in order for reconfiguration to work. -* Isolate configuration generation functionality on the server, where it can be readily observed.

This is the most complicated task that Bcfg2 performs. * The results of the configuration process fit a fairly simple model. We wanted to validate it. The result is that Bcfg2 has a programmable deployment engine that can be driven by anything that writes a compatible configuration description. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 + + agent + debugging + metadata + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 :glob: - * tools/* |
