# Overview

Spyc (pronounced "spec") is a very early prototype of an IT automation 

system, mixing my favorite parts of ansible, puppet, and chef.

From Ansible: No master to set up, only sshd and python 2 are required 

on the managed machine. This makes it easy to get started, and it means 

you don't have to set up a server to set up your server (Yo Dawg).

From Puppet: Declare resources and their dependencies, let the tool work 

out the ordering. Ansible and Chef both just execute things in the order 

listed in the file --- you have an imperative script whose statements

happen to be idempotent.

From Chef: Use a real programming language, instead of a special-purpose 

DSL. Ansible uses a specialized yaml format, and puppet has it's own

language. Both of these get clumsy when you start needing to do anything 

non-trivial. Chef just let's you write things in ruby. In the case of 

Spyc, the language is python 2.
