Provision has a long history of working behind the scenes in the Aegir Hosting System and DevShop.
For more than 10 years, Provision has been doing the dirty work to get Drupal going: configuring Apache or NGINX, managing MySQL databases and users, setting file and folder permissions, and more.
Now, for the 4.x version, Provision is branching out on it's own.
As a standalone CLI, Provision will still be the backend system for Aegir but will also work well on any system, from your laptop to the cloud.
Provision is essentially a task runner, with built-in task collections for getting Drupal running. Need a different service? Just write a PHP Class.
This project is still in it's early stages but the basics work. Come to this talk to get a preview of how to use it, how it works, and if you might be interested in contributing!
