The result is a configuration management system, which can use the knowledge of itself to proactively and dynamically drive both the search and the reconfiguration of its components.
This paper aims to describe the steps followed during the definition of the configuration management system of the DEMO design data in terms of (i) the identification of the appropriate product data management system, (ii) the description of the philosophy of the configuration management of the design data, and (iii) the introduction of the most important enabling processes.
Puppet [14] is a configuration management system originally forked from CFEngine.
For admins, the platform also offers integration with enterprise identity services, quota management, as well as a configuration management system.
For instance, configuration management systems allow developers to be aware of their colleagues' activities and align their work accordingly [21].
As an example, when using configuration management systems like Ansible for hardware-defined operating systems or any container environment for which you'll likely be using an orchestrator to effect remediation, the information from your monitoring system must provide guidance for you to use these tools and platforms to remediate and manage your security.
To bridge across different development and deployment environments, especially in the cloud computing space, configuration management systems such as Chef [2] and Puppet [3] have emerged as solutions to codifying and executing management procedures (installation, deployment, etc).
This provides advantages such as having a uniform view on the entire development process, which makes it easily traceable and auditable, but also enables exploiting proven and well-known technologies, e.g., source control or configuration management systems, during the entire application lifecycle.
In the aerospace sector, Pratt and Whitney replaced its configuration management systems with a single CAD-driven data-management solution from Siemens to decrease product-development costs by 75percentt.
The run-control implementation is described, and its integration with the configuration-management system is then explained, to show how a calculation requiring 37,000 CPU-hours, and involving 225,000 output files totaling 95 GB, was accomplished in 5 months by two individuals, with full traceability and reproducibility.
These organizations deliver complex projects, rely on digital technologies to manage large data-sets; and use configuration management, a systems engineering approach with mid-20th century origins, to establish and maintain integrity.
