Configuration management has long struggled to reconcile the stability of static definitions with the agility of dynamic environments. This traditional separation has led to fragmented tools, complex workflows, and costly outages.
Challenging the common view of configuration as a purely static entity, we will demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate static schemas and versioned configurations with the demands of dynamic components, such as policy enforcement, monitoring, and ephemeral configuration using CUE's logic-based approach to configuration. We show by means of real-life examples that this approach goes beyond mere templating, enabling the slicing and dicing of configuration from different sources and formats to enable cross-cutting functionality that adapts to evolving conditions.
Learn about the latest features of CUE and new ideas on how to organize CUE. As usual, we will use this opportunity to gather much appreciated user feedback.
