<h1>7. Features<a class="headerlink" href="#features" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>But cdist ticks differently, here is the feature set that makes it unique:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>Simplicity</dt>
<dd>There is only one type to extend cdist called <strong>type</strong></dd>
<dt>Design</dt>
<dd><ul class="first last simple">
<li>Type and core cleanly separated</li>
<li>Sticks completly to the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) paradigma</li>
<li>Meaningful error messages - do not lose time debugging error messages</li>
<li>Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation</li>
<li>No surprise factor: Only do what is obviously clear, no magic</li>
<li>Define target state, do not focus on methods or scripts</li>
<li>Push architecture: Instantly apply your changes</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>Small core</dt>
<dd>cdist's core is very small - less code, less bugs</dd>
<dt>Fast development</dt>
<dd>Focus on straightforwardness of type creation is a main development objective
Batteries included: A lot of requirements can be solved using standard types</dd>
<dt>Modern Programming Language</dt>
<dd>cdist is written in Python</dd>
<dt>Requirements, Scalability</dt>
<dd>No central server needed, cdist operates in push mode and can be run from any computer</dd>
<dt>Requirements, Scalability, Upgrade</dt>
<dd>cdist only needs to be updated on the master, not on the target hosts</dd>
<dt>Requirements, Security</dt>
<dd>Uses well-know <a class="reference external" href="http://www.openssh.com/">SSH</a> as transport protocol</dd>
<dt>Requirements, Simplicity</dt>
<dd>Requires only shell and SSH server on the target</dd>
<dt>UNIX</dt>
<dd>Reuse of existing tools like cat, find, mv, ...</dd>
<dt>UNIX, familar environment, documentation</dt>
<dd>Is available as manpages and HTML</dd>
<dt>UNIX, simplicity, familar environment</dt>
<dd>cdist is configured in POSIX shell</dd>
