An appliance manager for managing appliances in a networked environment comprises a subscription component, a hierarchy component, a storage component, an interface component and a management component. The subscription component identifies active subscribed-to appliances to be managed and the hierarchy component organizes subscribed-to appliances into at least one managed set of configuration-identical devices, where each managed set has a roaster appliance and zero or more slave appliances. The storage component stores managed data associated with the subscribed-to appliances. The interface component receives events from active subscribed-to appliances, wherein the appliance manager exchanges information with a select active subscribed-to appliance in response to receiving a corresponding event there from. The management component dynamically manages the at least one managed set of appliances so as to synchronize subscribed-to appliances within their associated managed set in response to receiving events that identity a configuration change occurred on the select active subscribed-to appliance.
