Is BundleWrap the right tool for you?

We think you will enjoy BundleWrap a lot if you:

• know some Python
• like to write your configuration from scratch and control every bit of it
• have lots of unique nodes
• are trying to get a lot of existing systems under management
• are NOT trying to handle a massive amount of nodes (let’s say more than 1000)
• like to start small
• don’t want yet more stuff to run on your nodes (or mess with appliances as little as possible)
• prefer a simple tool to a fancy one
• want as much as possible in git/hg/bzr
• have strongly segmented internal networks

You might be better served with a different config management system if you:

• are already using a config management system and don’t have any major issues
• hate Python and/or JSON
• like to use community-maintained configuration templates
• need unattended bootstrapping of nodes
• don’t trust your coworkers
