Description

As software-defined infrastructure proliferates, it is increasingly evident that manual management is a fool’s errand. When you can scale to hundreds, if not thousands, of instances in seconds, drift becomes a serious risk. Configuration management tools handle the dirty work by keeping things in check.

Attend this webinar to learn what we mean by “configuration management” (it is not as clear-cut as it sounds), the various tools’ strengths and weaknesses, and how the category is rapidly colliding with continuous delivery tools.

Key takeaways:

It is impossible to manage modern infrastructure manually. You need one of these tools to take care of thousands of mundane but critical daily tasks.
More isn’t better. Decide on one tool to avoid islands of automation.
Configuration management is just one step toward continuous delivery. Learn what steps you should take next.
