In this video, you'll learn about configuration management.
In configuration management, it's all about configuration as code, where your configuration
is defined with manifest files.
The desired state of the managed assets is described in the manifest file, which can
be compared to the current state of the managed assets.
And the desired state normally is defined in a declarative configuration language.
Configuration management can do different solutions.
It can be push-based or pull-based.
Some solutions are working with an agent, while other solutions are not.
Configuration management is what comes after deploying physical, virtual, or cloud instances.
Infrastructure as code is focusing on solutions that implement an infrastructure in a declarative
way, and that is often used in cloud environments.
Hesicorp Terraform is a common infrastructure as code solution.
But some configuration management solutions can do infrastructure as code as well.
