Konfiguratsioonijuhised

Konfiguratsioo... is a fictional concept used in theoretical discussions of software configuration management. It denotes a modular framework for expressing and applying configurations across heterogeneous software components and deployment environments. The term combines konfigurations and an ellipsis to suggest extensibility and ongoing evolution.

In the imagined model, a Konfiguratsioo... configuration is expressed in a declarative language that describes desired states rather than procedural steps. Configurations are organized into profiles and items, with inheritance, overrides, and constraints that allow for environment-specific variations while preserving a single source of truth.

Key concepts include configuration items (CIs), profiles, overrides, validation rules, conflict resolution, and an audit trail. A central repository stores the configuration definitions, while a resolver computes effective states and an apply engine enacts changes in target systems.

The typical workflow encompasses versioned configurations, automated validation, staged deployment, and post-application verification. Konfiguratsioo... aims to improve reproducibility, traceability, and portability of configurations across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.

Relation to other approaches: it shares goals with infrastructure as code, configuration management, and policy-as-code but emphasizes declarative state and environment-specific composition. Practical challenges include toolchain complexity, performance for large configuration spaces, and the risk of configuration drift if governance is weak.

As a fictional construct, Konfiguratsioo... has no official standard. It serves to illustrate how modular configuration frameworks could address modern deployment needs and to compare different design choices in configuration management.
