Hey,
I'm digging around a scalable configuration management solution to make it a skeleton for projects inside my company. A kind of silver bullet for everyone. I know about different tools and automation and stuff, but I really miss a kind of best practices reference.
Whenever I read books or blogs, it only shows oversimplified cases which doesn't apply to real world. I'm looking for a kind of source I can use as a reference to justify the solution I'm choosing (at least for myself). And also save a bit of time on testing and comparing all the things I'm not sure about.
I mean it's really easy to build e.g. ansible playbook to deploy nginx config with variables. Though it doesn't always works as good when we talk about hundreds of services and business demands supporting multiple different versions on different hosts and the playbook isn't that small and pretty. Also topics like configuration versioning, rollbacks and stuff are covered really rare.
Is there any source for best practices in configuration area? (it also might be I'm bad at googling, but didn't find a thing though)
