![]() Version control also solves another configuration problem: unexpected breaking changes. Moving configuration data into a Git repository enables version control and the repository to act as a source of truth. Git is a fantastic platform for managing configuration data. Configuration management solves this challenge by creating a “source of truth” with a central location for configuration. Imagine numerous post-it notes with passwords and URLs blowing around an office. It’s easy for these configuration values to become an afterthought, leading to the configuration to become disorganized and scattered. Secrets like passwords and encryption keys.Endpoints that specify external connections to other services, databases, or domains.Specifications of computational hardware resource allocations for CPU, RAM, etc.Some examples of software configuration metadata are: Each service in a microservice architecture uses configuration metadata to register itself and initialize. For a more concrete example consider a microservice architecture. Complex software systems are composed of components that differ in granularity of size and complexity. Configuration management helps engineering teams build robust and stable systems through the use of tools that automatically manage and monitor updates to configuration data. ![]()
