BSD Licensed Configuration Management tool

enforced aims to be the goto configuration management tool, utilizing the best features from the following configuration management tools:
- CFEngine
- Puppet
- Ansible
- Salt
Every one of these tools provides a specific great feature. The idea behind enforced is to combine these features into a simple, unified tool for system management.
- Utilizing a similar promise theory to CFEngine (if the configuration is correct, good, otherwise report and reconfigure)
- Powerful access to the remote systems similar to the Salt Master node reaching out to the Minion nodes (management that scales up to a large number of systems)
- Fast, Scalable and built with security in mind (the goal would be to program this in C for speed, possibly with python extensions)
- Option for Ansible style SSH management or single management port (yet to be determined)
This is currently just a idea, though some code will be following at some point. Current roadmap is the following:
- Single box enforcement of configuration options
- Flush out configuration protocol to be used
- Test root node functionality with child nodes
- Build out additional capabilities as functions the root node can perform.
