A prototype for a next generation config management tool, and the specific problems this design solves. Three of the main design features of the tool include:

* Parallel execution
* Event driven mechanism
* Distributed architecture

This talk will demo a prototype I've built that implements these ideas. It is written in golang, and is completely free software. This talk will feature working code and a number of live demos! The tools makes heavy use of etcd, and the talk will focus on how we embed the project and the unique way in which we use it.

An introductory blog post on the subject is available. https://ttboj.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/next-generation-configuration-mgmt/ Attendees are encouraged to read it before the talk if they are interested!
