Consfigurator's design gives you a great deal of flexibility about how to
- control the hosts you want to configure. Input and output streams attached
- to an interactive POSIX sh running on the target host (or in the target
- container) is sufficient to use much of Consfigurator's functionality. But
- if it is possible to get an implementation of Common Lisp started up on the
- host, then Configurator can transparently execute your deployment code over
- on the remote side, rather than exchanging information via POSIX sh. This
- lets you use the full power of Common Lisp to deploy your configuration.

Configurator has convenient abstractions for combining these different ways
to execute your configuration on hosts with different ways of connecting to
