Configuration management
Using configuration management for servers can provide several benefits, including:
- Consistency: Configuration management ensures that all servers are consistently configured, reducing the risk of configuration drift and ensuring that all servers are in the desired state.
- Reproducibility: With configuration management, it is possible to easily reproduce a specific configuration on multiple servers, making it easier to roll out changes or to set up new servers.
- Version control: Configuration management tools provide version control for server configurations, making it easier to revert to previous configurations and track changes over time.
- Automation: Configuration management automates many of the manual steps involved in configuring servers, reducing the risk of errors and saving time.
- Scalability: Configuration management makes it easier to manage large numbers of servers, especially as the number of servers increases.
We believe that configuration management is the base of automation and a it is a must have when there is no higher level of abstraction in place.
Your servers will always be in the desired state and you will be able to make changes with confidence.
