NephoScale's Configuration Management is a set of advanced capabilities that work across the entire NephOS platform to significantly boost the ease of IaaS automation and programmability. It is conveniently supported by all three platform access methods including: CloudScript, the RESTful API, and the Customer Web Portal.

• Automation of user configurations, application installation, and many system administration tasks

• Ability to run “init scripts” at boot time, enabling users to automate their infrastructure more easily by eliminating the need to manually initiate a script or series of scripts after a server is provisioned

• Headless installation of Chef/Puppet from within a CloudScript, and subsequent processing of Chef/Puppet recipe(s) automatically after a server is provisioned

• Configuration modification on running systems to trigger additional processes that need execution

• View of post execution output and results of scripts from within the customer portal
