OpenVox is a community-driven, open-source configuration management platform — a continuation of Puppet’s open-source heritage, maintained by the Vox Pupuli community. If you’ve ever used Puppet, you already know OpenVox. It’s the same powerful declarative language, the same agent/server architecture, and the same ecosystem of thousands of modules on the Puppet Forge but it’s 100% open source, forever, with no corporate strings attached.

OpenVox lets you think about configuration in a cross-platform declarative manner. Instead of writing scripts that say “do this, then do that”, you describe the desired state of your systems and let OpenVox figure out how to get there. Use the same desired state description to manage all your systems, whether they’re running Windows, RHEL, SUSE, or whatever.

It’s complemented with OpenBolt, which lets you orchestrate complex operations across multiple nodes, perform ad-hoc tasks, and trigger immediate actions. Many people use both systems together in their infrastructures.
