CFEnginePlatforms

CFEnginePlatforms is a term that refers to the various operating systems and environments on which the CFEngine configuration management software can be installed and run. CFEngine is known for its broad compatibility, designed to manage a diverse range of IT infrastructures. This includes a wide array of Unix-like operating systems, such as various distributions of Linux (e.g., Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server), BSD variants (e.g., FreeBSD, OpenBSD), and Solaris.

Beyond traditional Unix-like systems, CFEngine also supports the Windows operating system, allowing for unified management of both server and workstation environments. This cross-platform capability is a key feature, enabling organizations to manage heterogeneous IT landscapes from a single point of control. The specific versions of these operating systems that are supported may vary depending on the CFEngine release, and users are advised to consult the official CFEngine documentation for the most up-to-date compatibility matrix. The ability to operate on such a diverse set of CFEnginePlatforms makes it a flexible choice for enterprise IT automation.
