One of the goals of building the SimpleRPC framework and the overall speed of MCollective is to create interactive tools to manage your infrastructure in a way that it all just seems like a single point of entry with one machine. I’ve blogged a bit about this before with how I manage Exim clusters.
I’ve recently built a deployer for a client that does some very specific things with their FastCGI, packages and monitoring in a way that is safe for developers to use. I’ve made a sanitized demo of it that you can see below. It’s sanitized in that the hostnames are replaced with hashes and some monitoring details removed but you’ll get the idea.
As usual it’s best to just look at the video on youtube in it’s HD mode.
