In Rudder 5.0 we have introduced a plugins’ ecosystem to make Rudder more flexible and adaptable to user needs. Plugins aim to bring new functionalities to Rudder: to plug it with other tools or simply package re-usable policy sets for example. Even though the currently available plugins cover a large range of functionalities, you may need to create new ones or extend current ones to meet your specific needs.

This talk will go through the process of plugin creation and maintaining, focusing on the ones involving proper configuration elements. This will let us see the current possibilities to import, export, share and maintain subsets of configuration policies between distinct Rudder environments.
