About

Development on BundleWrap started in July 2012, borrowing some ideas from Bcfg2. Some key features that are meant to set BundleWrap apart from other config management systems are:

  • decentralized architecture
  • pythonic and easily extendable
  • easy to get started with
  • true item-level parallelism (in addition to working on multiple nodes simultaneously, BundleWrap will continue to fix config files while installing a package on the same node)
  • very customizable item dependencies
  • collaboration features like node locking (to prevent simultaneous applies to the same node) and hooks for chat notifications
  • built-in testing facility (bw test)
  • can be used as a library

BundleWrap is a "pure" free software project licensed under the terms of the GPLv3, with no Enterprise Edition or commercial support.
