title: YADT - an Augmented Deployment Tool

<div class="jumbotron yadt-hero">
	<h2>One Tool to Rule Them All</h2>
	<p class="lead">
		YADT is a next generation data center deployment and system management tool.
		It is based on two central components: central management of dependencies between services,
		systems and software packages, and using package based deployment for both
		software and configuration management.

			<h3>Automatic service dependencies.</h3>
			Dependencies between services are based on package dependencies.
				If your <em>webapp</em>
			package requires a <em>tomcat</em>
			package, that's all that YADT needs to know.
		</p>
	</div>
	<div class="col-md-4">
		<p>
			<h3>Reboot your servers.</h3>
			YADT knows when your server needs to reboot. Lean back and watch while a single command brings all
	your servers up to date in every way.
		</p>
	</div>

	<div class="col-md-4">

			<h3>Service abstraction that works.</h3>
			Whether you use virtualized machines, lxc containers or real hardware, your machines are a set of services with dependencies.
	Using a loadbalancer, have monitoring? That's a service too.
	See everything with one glance.

			<h3>You're in control.</h3>
			Running a command always has the same target outcome with <strong>zero</strong>
			undefined states inbetween. So even if a command fails, you have an
	ace up your sleeve and can simply restart it.

	<div class="col-md-4">

			<h3>For people and machines alike.</h3>
			Can be run by humans (interactive shell) or in an automated fashion
	(e.G. jenkins). A component (broadcaster) can expose customizable
	views of what is going on to your whole department.

			<h3>Virtually no overhead.</h3>
			No long-running processes or database foo.

			You like to
