Session abstract:
Enterprise Configuration Management Architecture
Solving the common misconception that Configuration Management is more than just source code control. In this session, we will provide insight regarding the practice and discipline of Enterprise level CM Architecture including: establishing end-to-end lifecycle traceability through integrating technologies, enabling effective measures for quality control, automating build/deployment processes, virtualizing hardware infrastructure, defining coding standards, linking architecture governance with change control, and how we can measure CM success.
Best regards, Max Poliashenko IASA Atlanta chapter, President
