A class-based config mixin, similar to the one found in Chef.
Buildout is a project designed to solve 2 problems: 1. Application-centric assembly and deployment Assembly runs the gamut from stitching together libraries to create a running program, to production deployment configuration of applications, and associated systems and tools (e.g. run-control scripts, cron jobs, logs, service registration, etc.). Buildout might be confused with build tools like make or ant, but it is a little higher level and might invoke systems like make or ant to get it's work done. Buildout might be confused with systems like puppet or chef, but it is more application focused. Systems like puppet or chef might use buildout to get their work done. Buildout is also somewhat Python-centric, even though it can be used to assemble and deploy non-python applications. It has some special features for assembling Python programs. It's scripted with Python, unlike, say puppet or chef, which are scripted with Ruby. 2. Repeatable assembly of programs from Python software distributions Buildout puts great effort toward making program assembly a highly repeatable process, whether in a very open-ended development mode, where dependency versions aren't locked down, or in a deployment environment where dependency versions are fully specified. You should be able to check buildout into a VCS and later check it out. Two checkouts built at the same time in the same environment should always give the same result, regardless of their history. Among other things, after a buildout, all dependencies should be at the most recent version consistent with any version specifications expressed in the buildout. Buildout supports applications consisting of multiple programs, with different programs in an application free to use different versions of Python distributions. This is in contrast with a Python installation (real or virtual), where, for any given distribution, there can only be one installed.

Self-contained, easy-setup, fast-start in-memory Chef server for testing and solo setup purposes.
Chef's default configuration and config loading.
LBN managed Chef validation certificate(s)
Launch API-driven "Cloud" servers with Knife and automatically run Chef on them. Currently supported services: * Amazon EC2 * Rackspace Cloud * Slicehost * Terremark vCloud These are supported via sub-commands in knife that use the Ruby library fog. During the "bootstrap" process that runs Chef, knife will SSH to the systems.
Chef is a systems integration framework and configuration management library written in Ruby. Chef provides a Ruby library and API that can be used to bring the benefits of configuration management to an entire infrastructure. Chef can be run as a client (chef-client) to a server, or run as a standalone tool (chef-solo). Configuration recipes are written in a pure Ruby DSL.
