Configuration Management and Infrastructure Monitoring Using CFEngine and Icinga for Real-time Heterogeneous Data Taking Environment

Orchestration Architecture for Automatic Deployment of 5G Services from Bare Metal in Mobile Edge Computing Infrastructure

“…Capistrano [8] is the extension of Chef to allow parallel deployment and interdependency resolution along the deployment of the different services. CFEngine3 [9][10][11] is an Orchestrator that treats each computer as an autonomous entity, obtaining its script and a few occasional pieces of information from the policy server (conductor). Juju [12] is an open-source orchestration service that provides easy scaling, automatic provisioning on a variety of providers including bare-metal, Linux containers and various cloud stacks, and a community ecosystem of best-practice service definitions.…”

Investigating survivability of configuration management tools in unreliable and hostile networks

“…This is further emphasized by his examples. Poat et al [20] have selected popular CMSs (Chef, Puppet, CFEngine) for comparison, all of which require direct connection between a master and slaves to configure multiple computers. In their paper on orchestration ("model-driven Cloud management") Wettinger et al [1] imply direct connection between a master and a server in their choice of tools and in the options they use for the orchestration system to deploy the catalogs.…”

“…[20]) and nonacademic sources. The list was then filtered to exclude dead projects, those failing to meet the criteria of free, idempotent and infrastructure-as-code.…”
