We are excited to announce the Alpha release of our new open-source configuration reverse engineering tool: Pysa
Pysa aims to help anyone who wants to replicate an existing configuration and not simply clone the entire machine. It can be use to migrate configurations from one computer to another (as physical machines to virtual clouds), backup existing configurations, or for any other migration purpose.
After scanning your system configuration, Pysa generates some Puppet manifests for the basic setup of your servers: groups, users, hosts, packages, configuration files, SSH keys, services, crons, source repositories, etc. From this starting point you can manually modify the scripts to suit your exact requirements.
Pysa is open-source software (GNU/GPL license) published by MadeiraCloud Ltd., and is still in its early-development stage (alpha release). Please don’t hesitate to report any bugs, requirements, advice, criticisms, hate or love messages to either pysa-user@googlegroups.com for public discussions or pysa@mc2.io for private messages.
We depend on your feedback to help make this a useful tool for the community.
