rudder is an easy to use, webdriven, rolebased solution for it infrastructure automation and compliance. with a focus on continuously checking configurations and centralising realtime status data, rudder can show a highlevel summary (“iso 27001 rules are at 100%!”) and break down noncompliance issues to a deep technical level (“host prodweb03: ssh server configuration allows root logins”).
a few things that make rudder stand out: a simple framework allows you to extend the builtin rules to implement specific lowlevel configuration patterns, however complex they may be, using simple building blocks (“ensure package installed in version x,” “ensure file content,” “ensure line in file,” etc.). a graphical builder lowers the technical level required to use this. each policy can be independently set to be automatically checked or enforced on a policy or host level. rudder works on almost every kind of device, so you’ll be managing physical and virtual servers in the data center, cloud instances, and embedded iot devices in the same way. rudder is designed for critical environments where a security breach can mean more than a blip in the sales stats. builtin features include change requests, audit logs, and strong authentication. rudder relies on an agent that needs to be installed on all hosts to audit. the agent is very lightweight and blazingly fast. installation is selfcontained, via a single package, and can autoupdate to limit agent management burden. rudder is a true and professional open source solution—the team behind rudder doesn’t believe in the dualspeed licensing approach that makes you reinstall everything and promotes open source as little more than a “demo version.”
