Speedy software releases are great. But speedy software releases free of configuration errors are even better. Agile and DevOps-oriented Dev teams work hard to deliver new software, but they are often in the dark regarding the latest Production-level configurations in their application, middleware, databases and operating systems. Capturing, comparing, and keeping configs in compliance is a time-consuming, error-prone mess for Ops teams – and nearly impossible for Dev. This engineering-led webinar will review practical tips and tools for easily fixing your configs before they wreck your release.
