CFEngine helps you manage cloud infrastructure at all levels
Cloud infrastructure needs to be managed both "from the outside" by creating, allocating and destroying resources (VM instances, storage allocations, networking settings and structure, etc.) and "from the inside" by ensuring each individual resource is operating correctly in its internal operation. CFEngine can ensure that your cloud infrastructure is operating autonomously, consistently and efficiently at all levels. Using CFEngine, you can create and destroy cloud resources (for example, virtual machines in Amazon EC2 or VMware) as specified by your policy, and even dynamically in response to certain conditions. At the same time, CFEngine can run on each individual node to ensure its internal configuration and operation are automatically kept compliant and correct. CFEngine's extremely low footprint (both in terms of storage and CPU utilization) makes it ideal for large-scale deployment on every single node of a cloud infrastructure without increasing your costs.
