    Description : infrastructure orchestration tool

    Bolt is an open source orchestration tool that automates the manual work
    it takes to maintain your infrastructure. Use Bolt to automate tasks
    that you perform on an as-needed basis or as part of a greater
    orchestration workflow. For example, you can use Bolt to patch and
    update systems, troubleshoot servers, deploy applications, or stop and restart services. Bolt can be installed on your local workstation and connects directly to remote targets with SSH or WinRM, so you are not required to install any agent software.

    This project has stalled for two reasons, first because this project
    depends on the "orchestrator_client" gem which is Puppet
    Enterprise-specific and it was complicated to package it properly
    without heavy modifications. Second, because Perforce has essentially closed-sourced its software. [1]

    So, this ITP should probably be closed, but the good news is there's now
    a community fork at https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openbolt
