00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,840
In this video, you'll learn about configuration management.

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,520
In configuration management, it's all about configuration as code, where your configuration

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,040
is defined with manifest files.

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,240
The desired state of the managed assets is described in the manifest file, which can

5
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:25,980
be compared to the current state of the managed assets.

6
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:32,740
And the desired state normally is defined in a declarative configuration language.

7
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:35,500
Configuration management can do different solutions.

8
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:37,860
It can be push-based or pull-based.

9
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:42,459
Some solutions are working with an agent, while other solutions are not.

10
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:48,419
Configuration management is what comes after deploying physical, virtual, or cloud instances.

11
00:00:48,419 --> 00:00:53,020
Infrastructure as code is focusing on solutions that implement an infrastructure in a declarative

12
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:56,939
way, and that is often used in cloud environments.

13
00:00:56,939 --> 00:01:00,980
Hesicorp Terraform is a common infrastructure as code solution.

14
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:05,900
But some configuration management solutions can do infrastructure as code as well.
