This document discusses configuration management and introduces several configuration management tools. It defines configuration management as systematically handling changes to a system over time to maintain integrity. Popular configuration management tools mentioned include Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and SaltStack. The benefits of configuration management include quick provisioning of new servers, quick recovery from events, eliminating inconsistent environments, versioning the server environment, and replicating environments. Key features of configuration management include automation frameworks, idempotent behavior, system facts, templating systems, and extensibility. The document suggests considering infrastructure complexity, learning curves, costs, tooling, and community support when choosing a configuration management tool.

DevOps is a culture, collaboration and
communication of both developers and other while
