DESCRIPTION:Currently there are close to twenty configuration management sy
 stems here at Config Management Camp 2024 in Ghent .\nThe Configuration It
 ems (CI) receiver their configuration information through either push or p
 ull and then either are being configured by remote control or as an indepe
 ndent agent.\n\nOne of the challenges we face is the provisioning of exter
 nal data\, enter Data. Data serves any CI that is able to send\, receive a
 nd process messages. There are\, for now two types of messages Data is abl
 e to receive and process:\n- Feeds triggering a response\n- Service views\
 n\nData makes use of a PostgreSQL backend that has schema's accordingly:\n
 - feeds\n- context\n- knowledge\nData stores and processes the information
  it receives from the CI feeds into the context schema\nData processes inf
 ormation from both schemas for use in the knowledge schema.\n- The CI's in
  the landscape provide Data with facts or hard classes of itself in the fe
 ed message\, which triggers a response by Data with a configuration view.\
 n- Services views are specific requests to Data and trigger responses to t
 he requestor concerning information about the landscape.\nConfiguring item
 s in an IT landscape require\, next to pure configuration details\, inform
 ation on a variety of levels. The information is related\, among other thi
 ngs to:\n- Organisation\n- Domain\n- Users\n- The specific item itself\n- 
 Information about the environment\, that relates to the purpose the item h
 as within the IT landscape\n\nThe Data class architecture has convergence 
 in mind. Convergence is the theoretical model in which CI's  convergently 
 work towards their desired state.
