Configuration Management

Definition of Configuration Management as it relates to Software, Application Lifecycle Management

Configuration Management refers to the process of tracking and controlling changes to software, applications, and infrastructure throughout their lifecycle. It involves establishing and maintaining consistent, repeatable procedures to manage modifications to system components, ensuring that they remain in a known, predictable state. The goal is to minimize configuration-related errors, improve security, reduce downtime, and enhance overall system performance. Configuration Management encompasses various activities such as version control, change management, release management, and asset management. It serves as the foundation for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and other software development practices by enabling teams to efficiently manage complex systems, mitigate risks, and maintain regulatory compliance.
