:Software to manage the configuration of a large number of computers using a central configuration model and the [[client-server]] paradigm. UnlikeCompared to Cfengine, the system enableenables reconciliation between clients' state and the central configuration specification, Detailed reports provide a way to identify unmanaged configuration on hosts. Generators enable code or template based generation of configuration files from a central data repository.

;[[Cfengine]]

:The veterantveteran of open source configuration management software. ManageManages configuration of a large number of computers using the [[client-server]] paradigm. The server has the authoritative version of configuration : aany configurationclient on the clientstate which is different from the server is always reverted to the authoritative version. Configuration state is specified via a declarative language.

:Tool to execute commands and replicate files on all nodes. Unlike [http://clusterssh.sourceforge.net/index.php/FAQ ClusterSSH], the nodes need not to be up; the commands will be executed when they boot. The system has no central server so commands can be launched from any node and they will replicate to all nodes.

;[[SmartFrog]]

:Java-based tool to deploy and configure applications distributed across multiple machines. There is no central server; you can deploy a .SF configuration file to any node and have it distributed to peer nodes according to the distribution information contained inside the deployment descriptor itself.
