It also looks like (not sure if i am right) but your worker/server has to have direct ssh access to the server. This means you basically have root access as most configuration management tools need root to administrate the server.
What is the difference to http://rundeck.org/ which can be integrated with foreman or puppet?

This is my sticking point: if the power comes from the recipes, how does having a web interface help any of that? I think this is a great piece of work, but I just can't see what the advantages are over any of its competitors given that all the actual work is still being done in the same way (e.g. shell scripts).
I would add that you bring up GitHub a number of times as a comparable service, but I think that the key difference is that a number of core git features are actually implemented by GitHub (e.g. fork, log, pull) and although this all looks great it isn't the reason (IMO) why it's successful, it's because it makes a common operation easier (i.e. git repository management). I think that you would need to make common dev-op "recipes" easy to generate before the GitHub comparison is correct.

(Creator of Commando.io) First time we've seen RunDeck, its been mentioned a few other times here. Investigating now.

After looking at your video it seems the main difference currently is that your recipes are versionized (which is a huge plus)
Why not fabric? In what universe does fabric have a deep-learning curve? Good lord.
Puppet and Chef have deep-learning curve and they're the tools that can be replaced with what OP is proposing.
God, its Matriu AS (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/naterockhold/matriu-as-l...) all over again.
So, tell me - what would this tool offer over, say, RunDeck or mcollective? Why only use SSH keys? (What if I'm using LDAP across all of my machines?) I'm not trying to knock your product - I really do hope you get Kickstarter funding! But I just wanted to say that, to me, as a systems engineer, I only see a pretty interface, but not much value add over the other two products mentioned above I also feel that comparin…
(Creator of Commando.io here) - Thanks for the feedback. Commando.io is very young, and while currently only supports SSH, LDAP could easily be added. The alpha build is extremely minimal, and serves as a proof of concept. However future features are parellel execution, interactive sessions, scp transfers (maybe even Murder transfers [bitTorrent]), and provisioning. You have to think back, when GitHub first launched,…
