With my colleague @ work we have made a bet that if I would ever make a CFEngine run on Alpha systems I would get a diploma for CFEngine. So “Clouseau” here is a build of CFEngine 3.11beta running on Alpha !
Rough notes on the build / install process

Looks like the latest CFEngine runs on the Alpha (simulated DS20E) , lets collect the CFEngine diploma from Clouseau ;)
And of course some boring video to follow
