Traditional versus zero-touch approaches

Let’s delve into the technical details to understand the differences between the traditional approach and the zero-touch approach.

Automated configuration management

Traditional approach:

• In the traditional approach, configuration management involves manually configuring systems and applications. Configuration changes are performed directly on each system, often through command-line interfaces or configuration files.
• There is a lack of standardized processes and centralized control, leading to variations in configurations across different systems and a higher risk of errors or inconsistencies.

Zero-touch approach:

• The zero-touch approach automates configuration management using tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or Chef
• Configuration settings are defined in code or declarative language, allowing for consistent and repeatable configurations across systems
• Automation tools apply the desired configurations...
