Configuration Management: Patterns, practices & solutions
Submitted Mar 31, 2017
Section:
Full talk of 40 mins duration
Technical level:
Intermediate
The configuration management space has evolved a lot but this can be intimidating for a newbie as well as someone not from infrastructure background. While the vocabulary has developed specific to technologies, there are commonalities and patterns which you can see across all technologies in the space. This talk will talk about the common vocabulary, patterns & practices and solutions in a tool/technology agnostic way (Although I will mention from time to time one of Chef/Puppet/Ansible/Salt to make it easy to understand). We will specifically focus on things like roles, infra data vs. config data, CD & testing patterns and practices, designs for multi data centre architectures and lastly managing sensitive data and dealing with events and integrations.
