# SUDO Controls
<p align="center"><img src="logo.png" alt="SUDO Controls Logo"></p>
SUDO Controls is a light-weight **SUDO fragments/rules** distribution & management framework which:
* uses a **desired state** model: SUDO Controls pushes fragments from a master (or slave) server onto client host(s) and applies them according to the central configuration.
* uses a **desired state** model: SUDO Controls *pushes* fragments from a master (or slave) server onto client host(s) and applies them according to the central configuration.
* uses **SSH** as **transport** mechanism: SUDO Controls connects to client hosts through the secure path of SSH.

* uses a **two-stage** approach to activate **SUDO fragments**: copy (or distribute) and apply. Fragments are first copied into a temporary location on each client hosts - the holding directory - and not applied automatically. Applying or activating fragments on a client host is a separate operation which can be triggered either locally or remotely (from the SUDO master)
* allows the use of (nested) **groups** in the master configuration: fragments and hosts can be grouped in the SUDO master configuration files to allow a simplified configuration. Nesting of groups is allowed up to one level deep.
* allows the use of (nested) **groups** in the master configuration: fragments and hosts can be grouped in the SUDO master configuration files to allow a simplified configuration. Nesting of groups is allowed up to *5 levels* deep.
* allow the use of (nested) **groups** in the specification of the *push* targets. Either via the --targets command-line parameter or via the `targets` configuration file.
* can discover SSH host public keys to (re)create `known_hosts` file(s) for a large amount of hosts

* is **easy** to **configure** and **maintain** (command-line based): the configuration is stored in a limited number of flat files and be easily updated. A very rudimentary syntax checking facility is also available to check the consistency of the most important (master) configuration files.
