CFEngine is happy to see increased demand for our software, both the Open Source version, CFEngine Community, and the Enterprise Software version, CFEngine 3 Nova. We recently moved the CFEngine Community source code to GitHub and plan to use that platform to interact more closely with the general community (watch this space for hot topics to come!).
We have also put up a test drive environment as a part of making CFEngine 3 Nova more accessible to potential customers. Qualified users* will be able to access and test a fully operational version of our Enterprise Software for free, without having to install and set it up on their own system. Specifically, users will be able to:
- View the status of all servers (e.g. availability, compliance, performance)
- Run one of many out-of-the-box reports, such as: software installed (by machine), compliance, file diffs, promises not kept
- Experiment with CFEngine Policy files
- Drill-down and configure individual servers, files, services, etc. Get shell-access for manual verifications
For a sneak preview, check out our video of the evaluation environment here. We have also created a written guide to take you through the steps of your test drive and explain the different reporting capabilities of CFEngine 3 Nova. Corporate customers may also request CFEngine 3 Nova binaries to install on their own system for a test drive. Please contact us for more information.
Both test drive options give access to our commercial support ticketing system to help you on your way.
*CFEngine 3 Nova is an Enterprise Software for corporations, and is not meant for private use, please see conditions on the evaluation page.
