Bcfg2 is a generative configuration management system that can be used for management of aspects of client systems, complete control of client systems, and the range in between. Bcfg2 is designed to work well in pre-existing environments, and in the presence of manual administration.
Bcfg2's most interesting feature is a web frontend that presents client configuration conformance information to administrators. This provides administrators with a direct way to observe how good of a job they are doing describing how their network should look. To our knowledge, this approach is unique to bcfg2, both as a goal and as a supported operation.
