In this video from the Red Hat 'Spotlight on' series, Michael DeHaan, Adrian Likins, and Seth Vidal discuss how the Fedora unified network controller (FUNC) makes it easy to write commands across large numbers of machines remotely and securely.

DeHaan, Likins, Vidal, and collaborator Greg DeKoenigsberg were the brain trust behind the creation of FUNC, hoping to solve a common systems administration problem: The need for secure network daemons when building new software. Learn more about their dilemma, FUNCs creation, and ongoing usage.

"If anything, FUNC is a radical move against overdesigning systems."
-- Michael DeHaan
