rekonfiguration

Rekonfiguration is the process of changing the configuration of a system, component, or environment. This may involve altering parameters, topologies, or the allocation of resources to adapt to new requirements, optimize performance, or recover from faults. Rekonfiguration can be performed manually by operators or automatically by software systems, depending on the domain and maturity of the infrastructure.

Rekonfiguration can be static, in which changes require stopping the system or rebooting, or dynamic, where updates are applied while the system remains in operation. Dynamic rekonfiguration is common in networks, cloud services, and reconfigurable hardware, enabling faster adaptation and reduced downtime. Examples include adjusting routing tables, changing service endpoints, reassigning compute resources, and partial hardware reconfiguration in programmable devices.

In information technology and telecommunications, rekonfiguration is part of configuration management, network provisioning, and software deployment. Technologies such as software-defined networking, network function virtualization, and infrastructure as code emphasize automated and auditable rekonfiguration. In embedded and reconfigurable computing, devices such as field-programmable gate arrays support partial or dynamic reconfiguration of logic blocks.

Effective rekonfiguration requires planning and governance to manage dependencies, compatibility, and security risks. Change management processes, version control, testing, and rollback plans help minimize disruption. Documentation and audit trails support accountability, while automation and standardized procedures improve reliability and repeatability.
