cfengine / puppet for rhel servers

Hello all,
I am planning to deploy a configuration / auditing software package for about 100 new nodes that we are planning to install. I am hearing many good things in regards to cfengine and puppet. Can someone shed some light in regards to these solutions?

Thanks,

jaysunn

Re: cfengine / puppet for rhel servers

I have a personal preference for cfengine over puppet, because its way more powerful although being the most versatile and scalable technology of this kind.

You can have an overview of Cfengine 3 here : Managing configuration with Cfengine 3: concepts & theories Normation Blog

You should also register to their website: you'll find many resources there, including Cfengine (2, 3 and Nova) binary packages for Cfengine for almost every linux distro and unix flavor.

Regards,

Nico
