The Marionette Collective aka. mcollective is a framework to build server
|
||
|
|
orchestration or parallel job execution systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mcollective's primary use is to programmatically execute actions on clusters of
|
||
|
|
servers. In this regard it operates in the same space as tools like Func,
|
||
|
|
Fabric or Capistrano.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By not relying on central inventories and tools like SSH, it's not simply a
|
||
|
|
fancy SSH "for loop". MCollective uses modern tools like Publish Subscribe
|
||
|
|
Middleware and modern philosophies like real time discovery of network
|
||
|
|
resources using meta data and not hostnames. Delivering a very scalable and
|
||
|
|
very fast parallel execution environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The focus is on catering to the needs of enterprises and large deploys.
|
||
|
|
Pluggable Authentication, Authorization and Auditing capabilities sets it apart
|
||
|
|
from other tools in this space.
