System Architecture

Forget what you know about other 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 host where changes are to be applied.

These scripts are capable of doing common configuration management tasks.

• Modify files by replacing or appending
• Add packages from a repository or from a local directory
• Modify Cobbler's configuration and keep track of hosts
• Run IPMI commands to manage hosts
