Mgmt is a next gen config management tool that takes a fresh look at existing automation problems.

Three of the main design features of the tool include:
* Parallel execution
* Event driven mechanism
* Distributed architecture

The tool has two main parts: the engine, and the language.
This presentation will demo both and include many interactive examples showing you how to build reactive, autonomous, real-time systems.
Finally we'll talk about some of the future designs we're planning and make it easy for new users to get involved and help shape the project.

A number of blog posts on the subject are available. https://ttboj.wordpress.com/?s=mgmtconfig Attendees are encouraged to read some before the talk if they want a preview!

This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
