When working with CFEngine, it’s common to hear advice about separating data from policy. Separating data from policy allows for separation of concerns, delegation of responsibilities and integration with other tooling. Each organization is different, and a strategy that works well in one environment may not work as well in a similar environment of another organization, so CFEngine looks to provide various generic ways to leverage external data. For example, Augments (def.json) is useful for setting classes and defining variables very early during the agent execution which can be applied to the entire policy having differences based on system characteristics as well as being used for host specific data.

Today we released 3.12.4-2. Shortly after releasing 3.12.4-1, we identified a permissions problem that prevents 3.12.4-1 from contributing data to a 3.15 hub setup for federated reporting; this release fixes that permission issue. As always, you can find Enterprise packages on our Enterprise downloads page and Community packages can be found in our public repositories and on our Community downloads page. Additionally, please note, cf-remote can be used to install our released Enterprise or Community packages.
As we enter 2020 and reflect on the various contributions the project has received we want to take a moment to recognize one of the more prolific contributors as a CFEngine Champion.
It’s my honor to announce and welcome Dimitrios Apostolou as the latest CFEngine Champion. At the time of this writing, he is the fourth most prolific committer in cfengine/core with 1101 commits.
2584 Mikhail Gusarov 2045 Mark Burgess 1430 Sigurd Teigen 1101 Dimitrios Apostolou 825 Kristian Amlie Notably, as an employee of CFEngine AS and Northern.tech AS Dimitrios was responsible for introducing Protocol 2 (TLS), greatly improving the performance of cf-serverd, and refactoring the policy evaluation to improve the speed of iteration over large and complex lists and data structures. As a community member, Dimitrios worked in his spare time to open source cf-monitord bringing the ability to write custom measurement promises to the Community edition. Thank you, Jimis. You have significantly enhanced the CFEngine community through your individual efforts. Know someone that has significantly enhanced CFEngine through their contributions to the project itself or via their engagement with the community? Nominate them!
We recently released new builds for our Enterprise and Community packages. This release fixes an issue causing Enterprise Hub packages to fail upgrade in some cases. As part of this release, we also made changes to package names to ensure consistent naming that also includes the target platform in the filename.
As always, you can find Enterprise packages on our Enterprise downloads page and Community packages can be found in our public repositories and on our Community downloads page.
