The Norm of Change
In the ever-changing paradigm of infrastructure management, it’s becoming inevitably more important to keep track of changes. As most respectable automation systems today leverage human-readable data serialization formats such as YAML or JSON, using industry standard source control management (SCM), such as Git, is becoming more prominent.
These principles are often referred to as infrastructure-as-code, and allow changes to any system under management to be peer-reviewed and approved before the configuration is applied. It’s the ultimate compromise to allow developers and application owners control their own destiny – but not without operations having the final say, approval, and ultimately taking responsibility for the change. Simply put, a clean cut separation of concerns between business needs is needed while de-risking manual and error-prone system configurations.
