At Tuesday night’s CFEngine Meet-the-Team BoF session at LISA, Joe Netzel, one of CFEngine’s talented Systems Engineers, showed off a small app that he has been building in his spare time to help new users become more comfortable developing their own CFEngine policies.
In Joe’s own words: “The CFEngine Policy Wizard attempts to bridge the gap between established concepts that are second nature to System Administrators – such as setting file permissions, process management and software installation – by offering a side-by-side comparative view of the CFEngine syntax.”
We’ve now added his CFEngine Policy Wizard to our Website at https://cfengine.com/policy_wizard so you can play with it too – and please let us know what you think. Of course, it’s typical beta software, so the usual disclaimers and no guarantees apply.
For full documentation about writing CFEngine policy files, please refer to the CFEngine Reference Manual.
We want your feedback! If you have questions or comments on the Wizard, leave them below or through our bugtracker.
Happy Policy Writing! The CFEngine Team
