I've used cfengine in a production environment, and found it to be very useful and powerful. I'll just list the features (pro and con) below.
PROS
- Distributed operations
* Self contained binary.
CONS
- Documentation - comprehensive but can be hard to know where to start
with new installations
- Configuration is unlike anything you've ever seen
- The "editfiles" section of the configuration is also unlike anything
you've ever seen - and is different than any other configuration section
Actually almost every section has its own variants of the syntax.
The second con is that this is a research project for the author and not much else.. this can make dealing with problems a bit of a headache when he has completely theoretical issues he wants to try out.
