Software Configuration Management

In software engineering, software configuration management (SCM or S/W CM) plays a crucial role in tracking and controlling changes within software projects. It falls under the broader discipline of configuration management. SCM encompasses practices such as revision control and the establishment of baselines. The primary objective of configuration management is to ensure the systematic tracking of a system's configuration throughout its entire lifecycle, spanning from development to obsolescence. Opennimbus recognizes the importance of effective configuration management in software engineering and emphasizes its implementation to achieve project success and maintain a well-managed software ecosystem.

We Are Revamping The Software Configuration Process

Traditionally, configuration management has been conventionally implemented through documentation, where engineers would handle version control of the documents. During changes, the engineer would manually set up the environment and manage the configuration. However, at Opennimbus, we have revolutionized this process by adopting an automated approach to configuration management, utilizing version control in the form of code. This allows for more efficient and streamlined management of configurations, reducing the need for manual intervention and ensuring a smoother development process.

Opennimbus, following its distinctive approach, also leverages version control in the form of code to streamline the Configuration Management procedures through the automation of various configuration management processes.
