Aquilon
TracNav
Aquilon is the third generation configuration datastore for Quattor (The 1st generation being CDB and the 2nd being SCDB).
The biggest single change is the introduction of a broker daemon which has overall ownership of the system including template compilation. The broker stores specifc configuration in a relational database, generating object templates on-the-fly at compile time.
All user interaction takes place over a kerberos secured connection to the broker, which delegates sandboxes (taking the form of git repositories) when changes to pan templates are needed.
Most operations do not require editing of templates and can be performed in almost real-time with a single command, this opens the possibility for event driven configuration changes and self modification by configured systems.
