System Architecture

Forget everything you know about configuration management systems.

• LosF has no daemon
• LosF does not transfer files to remote hosts
• LosF has no domain specific language
• LosF does not have templates or dynamic files
• LosF expects and integrates heavily with Cobbler

LosF is a collection of scripts. These scripts run from a network directory mounted on the local system where changes are to be applied. These scripts modify files on the system by replacing or appending, add packages through the yum package manager or rpm -ivh --force from a local directory, modify Cobbler's configuration by wrapping cobbler commands in losf utilities, and running IPMI commands.
