# Rudder

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/148861/rudder

> Rudder is an open-source configuration management solution that helps businesses streamline operations related to auditing, remediation, vulnerability tracking and more from within a unified platform. Administrators can set up access rights, configure validation workflows, and manage external authentication protocols to ensure user and data security.


Rudder's hierarchical variables module allows staff members to define configuration values at different data levels, such as clusters, servers, sites and machines. With the built-in template library, employees can manage configurations across several use cases, such as user management, NTP, SSH key distribution and DNS. Additionally, it allows managers to generate visual analytics and reports to gain insights into global compliance status across environments, groups, files and machines.


Rudder comes with an application programming interface (API), which lets businesses integrate the platform with several third-party solutions. It is available on annual subscriptions and support is extended via phone, email, documentation, FAQ and other online measures.
