Cfengine 3, one year on.

It's been just over a year since Cfengine 3 was released. Over that year I've been using it heavily. My opinion of this latest version has not changed. Cfengine 3 has a lot to offer.

• Improved syntax. Unlike version 2, version 3 syntax is consistent throughout.
• Redundancy. Cfengine 3 offers great redundancy through a 'failsafe' operation and redundant policy hosts.
• Library. The Cfengine websites (cfengine.org and cfengine.com) have a great selection of examples and ready to use code.
• Validator. The new program cf-promises can validate code.
• Reporting. Better canned and custom reporting.
• Modular policies. Modules, bundles and methods allow you to create reusable polices.

All of the reasons for using Cfengine that I've mentioned before (1 2 3) have never been more true. Don't just listen to me, big companies are embracing Cfengine. Don't get left behind.
