The Astra Group has released a new version of the Astra Configuration Manager 1.5 configuration management tool, which supports working with devices on various Linux operating systems.
The main innovation is the ability to centrally manage devices based on RedOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora Linux, and Alma Linux from a single console. This allows administrators to obtain information about software, OS versions, and hardware characteristics, as well as generate reports for analyzing IT infrastructure.
In addition, the new version of ACM introduces support for inventorying devices based on the mobile edition of Astra Linux Mobile. Release 1.5 also improves the stability of working with dynamic collections when managing a large number of devices, optimizes the logic for generating reports, and expands the set of inventory criteria. Anastasia Belousova, ACM Product Manager at the Astra Group, explained:
It is important for a system administrator to monitor the status of the entire fleet from a single window. Maintaining several large infrastructure solutions and switching between different RedOS, Astra Linux, and other OS configuration systems is inefficient. We have now implemented the ability to receive reporting information and monitor the status of a heterogeneous fleet from a single console. Our plans include further development of functionality, including the installation of software on supported operating systems.
