### What we like

Execute commands and define desired state across many remote machines, containers, or locally. Can install packages & manage config files. Understands groups, roles, multiple environments & typed actions against databases, firewalls, Git, etc. Can integrate with Terraform, WinRM, Docker, Ansible, and others. Extendable with Python.

### Tradeoffs

Use of Python means it doesn’t require an agent, but obviously means it requires the Python runtime environment locally (remote side only requires a shell) and must be configured in Python.
