Cisco Announces Intent to Acquire CliQr

First configuration management system that isn’t just “copying files”.

Back in my day ‘Deployment Engineer’ wasn’t a job, it was just a Linux admin ‘copying files’. We called it ‘copying files’… back when Linux admins compiled kernels and road Lions as babies…

CliQr might be the first configuration management system that sparks my interest. Poop on Chef and Puppet, those are just formalized file copying.
