CHAPTER 11Infrastructure Enhancement
At this point, we have a fully functional infrastructure. We have automated all of the changes to the hosts at our site from the point at which the initial imaging hosts and cfengine server were set up.
We're running a rather large risk, however, because if we make errors in our cfengine configuration files, we won't have an easy way to revert the changes. We run an even greater risk if our cfengine server were to suffer hardware failure: we would have no way of restoring the cfengine masterfiles tree. The other hosts on our network will continue running cfengine, and they will apply the last copied policies and configuration files, but no updates will be possible until we restore our central host.
