About

Grobot is a remote execution framework which draws inspiration from mcollective, Salt, func, and others. Grobot aims to fill the space for a framework written in java with support for plugins in groovy.

Goals

The goal of Grobot is to be as easy a possible for developers and system's administrators to be productive with the provided out-of-the-box tasks and/or build their own if needed.

Anyone with a bit of Groovy/Java development experience should be able to download and setup the Grobot project to run locally and be able to write new tasks within minutes. And because Grobot uses groovy as it's plugin language, writing a new task should be trivial given the excellent tooling support available for developing and debugging their scripts in a truly test-driven development environment.
