Review on Kwatee Agile Deployment by Charles Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best tool to install and manage software packages / services

I like how easy it was for me, as an admin user with no coding experience at all (but who's very familiar w/ SysAdmin tasks), able quickly & accurately configure this product without having too much trouble! The only thing about KAD which doesn't seem intuitively obvious enough would be if you were using multiple instances in your environment - there are some things where its not clear whether one instance controls another when they're both running simultaneously but doing so from different machines via SSH isn&#039t always possible because someone else might need access first before yours can run properly again. Easier configuration than PuppetLabs AnsibleEngine by far!! We've been looking into several options over time including Chef Server + Vagrant etc., since we have hundreds+ nodes across our environments here within AWS Cloud Services alone -- none seemed ideal until now after trying out kwade deployer itself vs other products mentioned above due their ease.

Pros
  • Easy to setup; intuitive GUI interface that makes setting up new servers or deploying changes really simple once everything is set correctly..and fast deployment speeds compared even just against what chef server used previously while testing various tools available today ! :)
Cons
  • Will fit
