fabric

I have been using the unofficial fork Fabric3 (https://pypi.org/project/Fabric3/ == https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/) for many years with great success (completely automated the IT infrastructure of a medium-sized startup on AWS including provisioning using boto, system config, and app deploy), all with a couple of hundred lines magic-less, easy-to-read scripts, but sadly Fabric3 is no longer updated either, which causes security concerns. I wish someone would pick that up and continue it — rather then the official version and split into Invoke (which I still don't understand despite a whole week of energy invested). Honestly fabric was the best thing ever... I still depend on it for personal projects, but sad I can't use it for work projects anymore. UPDATE: I just found `fab-classic` which is an actively maintained fabric fork wit

Fabric. http://www.fabfile.org/ Works over SSH. Uses pure Python. No need to deploy and configure minions/agents/etc. Fabric also benefits from being highly composable. Since it's python, you can parametrize and reuse functions and create class-based tasks [1] Want to use Fabric with python 3? Here is a fork with Python 3 support: https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/ If you use fabtools, I maintain a fork of it for fabric3: https://github.com/develtech/fabtools/tree/fabric3 [1] http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.14/usage/tasks.html#task-subcla...

In addition, Fabric doesn't support Python 3. The feedback I've gotten back on when Python 3 will be supported and how much of the legacy fabric API's will be supported is even more limited. There is a fork with Python 3 support: https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/ If you use fabtools, I maintain a fork of it for fabric3: https://github.com/develtech/fabtools/tree/fabric3

There's a maintained Fabric fork [0] for Python 3, it is basically a drop-in and available via pip. [0] https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/
