Best Software Configuration Management (SCM) Tools

Manually managing your IT infrastructure, especially if it’s critical or hybrid, is not really efficient. The best approach is to use automation combined with configuration compliance to have full and continuous control of your systems. Rudder is built on a powerful compliance-driven automation engine, providing a simple, declarative management framework for your system configurations. No more loss of service, Rudder keeps your systems correctly configured by controlling the drift in a centralized platform. Define global parameters across your infrastructure while managing exceptions with hierarchical variables. In the same way, configure using infrastructure-as-code with the Rudder language, synchronized with the web interface allowing all teams to collaborate.
