Welcome to PACIFy!

PACIFy stand's for Package Configuration Framework and it's main purpose is to get a step further in the devops movement. PACIFy solves the the problem of How do i have to configure your package?.

What problem's does PACIFy solve?

  1. The dev team has written a nice install documentation and specified all configuration elements which the package contains. But the op's team didn't read it and missed that new configuration.
  2. The op's team forgot to do a configuration in a file.
  3. The op's team destroyed the Encoding of file x.y when they replaced the placeholder.
  4. The op's team changed the line endings of file x.y when they replaced the placeholder.
  5. The op's team reports deployment successfully completed but the app shows some really strange behavior. The dev team digged some hours and the result? One of the previous mentioned point.
  6. Perhaps you are on the devops train already and are using ansible, chef and/or puppet than you have to change the workflow, if the dev team adds some new properties or removes them.

With PACIFy all of this problems are non-existent!
