Bolt is an open-source orchestration software that automates the manual input required for infrastructure maintenance. Utilize Bolt to automate actions that you execute on the basis of as-needed or as part of a larger orchestration process.  Bolt may be used to patch and update systems, diagnose servers, deploy applications, and stop and restart services, among other tasks. Bolt may be installed on a local machine and creates a connection to remote targets through SSH or WinRM; thus agent software is not needed.
