Fabric is an incredible tool to automate administration of remote machines.
|
||
|
|
As Fabric's functions are rather low-level, you'll probably quickly see a need
|
||
|
|
for more high-level functions such as add/remove users and groups,
|
||
|
|
install/upgrade packages, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cuisine is a small set of functions that sit on top of Fabric, to abstract
|
||
|
|
common administration operations such as file/dir operations, user/group
|
||
|
|
creation, package install/upgrade, making it easier to write portable
|
||
|
|
administration and deployment scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cuisine's features are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Small, easy to read, a single file API:
|
||
|
|
<object>_<operation>() e.g. dir_exists(location) tells if there is a
|
||
|
|
remote directory at the given location.
|
||
|
|
* Covers file/dir operations, user/group operations, package operations
|
||
|
|
* Text processing and template functions
|
||
|
|
* All functions are lazy: they will actually only do things when the change
|
||
|
|
is required.
