Furthermore, all the certificates are free of costs! I love to use OpenBSD and Rex to automate all of this.</p> <p>OpenBSD suits perfectly here as all the tools are already part of the base installation. Rex is not as powerful and popular as other configuration management systems (e.g. Puppet, Chef, SALT or even Ansible). It is more of an underdog and the community is small.
