Rex is a Perl-based automation framework designed for managing and deploying servers, applications, and infrastructure. It provides a simple way to automate repetitive tasks, configure systems, and orchestrate complex workflows through a set of customizable scripts.
About Rex
Rex was created in 2010 by Jan Gehring. It was developed to address the need for a simple, flexible automation tool that could manage and deploy servers and infrastructure using Perl. The goal was to provide an easy-to-use framework that could handle repetitive tasks and complex workflows efficiently.
Rex's strengths include its simplicity, flexibility, and Perl-based scripting, which allows for extensive customization. Its weaknesses are limited community support and less widespread adoption compared to other tools. Competitors include Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and SaltStack.
