OpenBolt is a CLI application from the OpenVoxProject. It
provides different ways to run your beloved sysadmin scripts with proper
guardrails and it makes it easy to glue them together into Plans. For
years, people wanted to have a Web UI, besides the CLI, to run the
various tasks and plans. We now added a Foreman plugin, which enables
people to run everything via the Web UI or the Foreman API!
- What is OpenBolt and where does it come from?
- What are Tasks?
- What are Plans?
- How does it fit into the Foreman ecosystem?
In this talk I would like to answer those questions showcase what OpenBolt is and the benefits it provides, and also do a live demo.
The slides are available online. A collection of all my talks is at github.com/bastelfreak/talks.
