Configuration Management Terminology
- Resource: in this context, we refer to an information resource - data that resides on a computer, not an actual physical entity.
- Configuration: a resource that identifies a set of revisions, versions, and/or states of some other resources (the workgroup is to determine if configuration can contain other configurations).
- Configuration management: the practices of managing configurations, their contents, their lifecycles - in particular, identifying and controlling changes to configurations.
- Baseline: an immutable configuration, that is, a snapshot in time of the state of a set of resources, including the links from those resources.
