Ever wish that you could run Mission Portal at Home?

How can I run my own bundles automatically, like autorun from the MPF (Masterfiles Policy Framework), but with different logic?
Cody Valle (Head of community), Criag Comstock (Digger), Ole Herman Elgesem (Product Manager) and Nick Anderson (Doer of Things) review the existing capabilities and limitations of autorun in the MPF. After reaching the limits offered by the stock framework they explore implementing a custom autorun, for example recursively finding policy files or only including policy files with associated enablement classes.

Herman (Product Manager) walks us through the features that we will find in the upcoming release of CFEngine 3.20. Being a non-LTS release, it’s a great opportunity to try out new features and get your feedback in before our next LTS series.
