Infrastructor is a server provisioning tool written in Groovy

Overview

Infrastructor is a server provisioning and configuration management tool written in Groovy programming language. It implements Infrastructure as Code paradigm. Here are key features of Infrasructor:

• It provides a DSL on top of Groovy programming language to describe, manage and provision servers: either bare metal and virtual machines
• It is possible to use all Groovy features: loops, conditions, closures, etc.
• Agentless: no need to pre-configure target hosts, only an SSH connection is required
• Has minimal dependencies on the host’s side, just a few posix utilities are used: cat, tee, mkdir, cp, etc.
• Portable, but requires Java Virtual Machine to run
• Flexible: Infrastructor gives a lot of freedom of code organization!
• Unix oriented: initially designed to work with unix based hosts

It is also designed to be easy to learn and provides rich programming functionality and extensibility. Thank you for your interest in Infrastructor!
