Duxcore : embed an ansible-like automation engine right in your Rust code

This crate gathers the core logic and types of the Dux tools. So far, 3 versions are being built based on this crate :

• standard : one executable taking a list of tasks and a list of hosts as input (plus extra such as username, key...) and applying these tasks to these controlled hosts
• scalable : turned into a microservice architecture, the tasks are created by controller nodes, sent to a message broker (RabbitMQ), fetched by worker nodes (these are the one actually doing something on the controlled hosts) and the results are sent back to the controllers through the message broker. This allows to multiply the number of controlled hosts handled simultaneously by increasing the number of worker nodes
• agent : one executable running as a service on a host. This service regularly applies a task list on its own host. This task list can be a local or a remote file (https, ftp, git...). It allows a pull mode : the controlled hosts are actively looking for tasks to apply to themselves. All the operator has to do is to update the task list and the rest will take place on its own.

You can also use this crate to create your own automation tool, adapted to your very specific use case.
