Free Webinar - Configuring self-service portals for configuration management with CFEngine Enterprise
In many organizations the workload for IT teams would be more manageable if other departments in their company could configure their IT services independently. With the integration of CFEngine Enterprise and Design Center, this can be accomplished. In this webinar you will see how CFEngine policies can be converted to "sketches", which are generalized templates that can be easily configured and deployed by end-users. We will also demonstrate how administrators can maintain control by recording a detailed audit-trail of all end-user activity.
