Sysadmin Module

Automate sysadmin tasks. Simplify work. Profit.

Configuration data

Much if not all of this module is intended to run off of JSON data describing an infrastructure. This provides a source-controllable, explicit record of how the infrastructure should look/work/function.

An example of what is in use currently:

{
"servers": [
{
"hostname": "srv01",
"roles": [],
"site": "Foxtrot"
},
{
"hostname": "prn01",
"roles": ["print"],
"site": "Zulu"
},
{
"hostname": "prn02",
"roles": ["print"],
"site": "Charlie"
}
]
}
