Continuous Configuration with RUDDER 4.2 - in-depth demo (August 2017)

RUDDER is an open source Continuous Configuration tool, which is a combination of IT infrastructure configuration management and continuous auditing. It focuses on critical production needs like ensuring a continuous reliability, enabling secured changes best practices, having visibility on infrastructure actual state, and providing an easy-to-use centralized hub to manage every device (embedded included) and operating system configurations. 00:00 Outline 00:59 Part 1 - Main Features 11:39 Part 2 - Continous Reliability Demo 14:07 Part 3 - RUDDER in the Real World -- A few things that make RUDDER stand out: - A simple framework allows you to extend the built-in rules to implement specific low-level configuration patterns, however complex they may be, using simple building blocks (“ensure package installed in version X,” “ensure file content,” “ensure line in file,” etc.). A graphical builder lowers the technical level required to use this. - Each policy can be independently set to be automatically checked or enforced on a policy or host level. In Enforce mode, each remediation action is recorded, showing the value of these invisible fixes. - RUDDER works on almost every kind of device, so you’ll be managing physical and virtual servers in the data center, cloud instances, and embedded IoT devices in the same way. - RUDDER is designed for critical environments where a security breach can mean more than a blip in the sales stats. Built-in features include change requests, audit logs, and strong authentication. - RUDDER relies on an agent that needs to be installed on all hosts to audit. The agent is very lightweight (10 to 20 MB of RAM at peak) and blazingly fast (it’s written in C and takes less than 10 seconds to verify 100 rules). Installation is self-contained, via a single package, and can auto-update to limit agent management burden. - RUDDER is a true and professional open source solution—the team behind RUDDER doesn’t believe in the dual-speed licensing approach that makes you reinstall everything and promotes open source as little more than a “demo version.” -- RUDDER is an established project with several 10000s of node managed, in companies from small to biggest-in-their-field. Typical deployments manage 100s to 1000s of nodes. The biggest known deployment in 2017 is about 9000 nodes. -- Try the online demo: https://www.normation.com/en/get-started/online-demo/ Ask the team for a personalized demo: https://www.normation.com/en/ask-for-a-demo/ Download RUDDER: http://www.normation.com/en/rudder/download-rudder/ Read documentation: https://www.rudder-project.org/doc/ Ask anything to the team: https://www.normation.com/en/contact/
