Mgmt is a real-time automation tool that is fast and safe.
Is this running in production? What's taken so long?
It was important for us to be better than legacy tools, not just a 1:1 replacement.
I believe we've surpassed what was possible classically, and we're now using mgmt for real production workloads.
We are managing routers, vm hosts, provisioning metal with automatic power-on,
and so much more. I'll also dig into the new language features, and show you a
bunch of common mcl patterns so you can learn to read and write effective code.
As usual, I'll live demo to your hearts content!
A number of blog posts on the subject are available: https://purpleidea.com/tags/mgmtconfig/
Attendees are encouraged to read some before the talk if they want a preview!
