Cuisine is a task automation tool written in Python that provides a platform

neutral abstraction over your operating system. It is designed as a simple

flat API to interact with one or more servers, making it easy to do remote

scripting piloted by Python.



# FAQ



## Why should I use Cuisine?



Here are a few reasons why you would use Cuisine:



- You prefer to use Python rather than shell scripts for automation

- You prefer a simple solution to a complex framework

- You want to have full control over your automation process



## How does Cuisine compare to others?



Overall, Cuisine offers a simple abstraction layer over fundamental OS operations that make it easier to automate

administration, building, provisioning, deployments and other devops-related tasks.



- [Fabric](https://www.fabfile.org/): Fabric provides a way to run arbitrary

  commands across hosts, and sits at a lower level than Cuisine. In fact, the

  previous version of Cuisine was built on top of Fabric.

- [Salt](https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/): Salt provides a high-level

  declarative interface to systems, while Cuisine offers a lower level API that

  you can use to write your own scripts or logic.



## Which systems are supported by Cuisine?



Currently, Cuisine is only intended to work on UNIX systems, and has specialised functions

for the following systems:



- Packages: apt (Debian,Ubuntu), yum (Redhat, Fedora), pkg (FreeBSD)
