• claw can help you take the pain out of (at least) some bootstrapping woes.

• Along the way, claw can help you with other Cloudify development-related aspects.

• claw uses concepts derived from the system tests framework. Mainly, handler configurations which are used to describe different environments in which you may bootstrap on. It tries doing it in a way that will allow you to have many different configurations with as little repetition as possible.

• claw was initially conceived to ease the day to day Cloudify development pains of a single developer. It hopes it can do the same for more than one developer.

• Using claw, bootstrapping a Cloudify manager looks like this:

  $ claw bootstrap openstack_datacentred1

To get started, follow the :doc:`installation` page. Next, don't miss out on :doc:`bash_completion`. Without it, working with claw becomes somewhat inconvenient. Next, read :doc:`bootstrap_and_teardown`.

The other sections are great too, but you can certainly get going without them in the beginning.

The code lives here.
