Configuration management is a process for maintaining computer systems, servers, and software in a desired, consistent state. It’s a way to make sure that a system performs as it’s expected to as changes are made over time.
Managing IT system configurations involves defining a system's desired state like server configuration then building and maintaining those systems. Closely related to configuration assessments and drift analyses, configuration management uses both to identify systems to update, reconfigure, or patch.
Proper configuration management tools:
- Classify and manage systems by groups and subgroups.
- Centrally modify base configurations.
- Roll out new settings to all applicable systems.
- Automate system identification, patches, and updates
- Identify outdated, poor performing, and noncompliant configurations.
- Prioritize actions.
- Access and apply prescriptive remediation
