The Marionette Collective (mcollective) uses Publish Subscribe Middleware and messaging protocols to allow a management workstation to interact with a large number of servers in parallel.  Through RPC commands and agents all aspects of remote systems are available for management in parallel, meaning that large blocks of systems and services can be controlled with single commands.

Arces maintains the Gentoo ebuilds for the Marionette Collective and for the Stomp client.  These ebuilds are available from our Gentoo portage overlay.
