Configuration Management and Environment SupportPosted by: Nagendra Mahadevappa in MyBlog Tagged in: Untagged

Hi there
This is my first blog on cmcrossroads, please bear with me, if am boring too much.
After working for several companies in the area of software configuration management, I wonder what is the right term to be used, when people work on configuration management and environments, such as test, user acceptance, system testing, beta and production
I tend to agree that, configuration management ends at the stage where you kick off the build and release the code to QA or end customer, but at the same time, is it configuration management's responsibility to maintain the configurable items itself? those items are specific to different environments, because each release must contain environment specific items and are packaged together with the code.
All your comments are welcome

... Hi Nagen, this is a good post and an interesting topic. Most CM experts would call this Environment Management or possibly Configuration Change Control. BTW - I believe that CM is a full lifecyle discipline from requirements gathering all the way through to deployment, operations and even decommissioning an application once it is no longer needed. Today's focus on CMDB's (in ITIL v3 and elsewhere) certainly does put a spotlight on managing environments. |
