&
| + | Automation | Automates repetitive IT tasks, saving time and reducing human error |
|---|---|---|
| + | Declarative Language | Uses a domain-specific language to define the desired state of systems |
| + | Idempotency | Ensures that configurations can be safely applied multiple times |
| + | Infrastructure as Code | Allows infrastructure to be managed as code, improves consistency, reduces risk, and facilitates collaboration |
| + | Scalability | Scales to manage large infrastructures, from small businesses to large enterprises with thousands of servers |
| + | Reporting | Offers graphical reporting for real-time visibility into infrastructure changes |
| + | Client-Server Architecture | Uses a client-server model for managing configurations |
| + | Resource Abstraction | Abstracts system resources for easier management |
| + | Environment Management | Manages different environments for development, testing, and production |
| + | Version Control Integration | Integrates with version control systems for code management |
| + | Orchestration | Orchestrates complex workflows and dependencies |
| - | Complexity | Configuration language and setup can be complex, making it challenging for users without a programming background |
| - | Agent-Based Model | The agent-based architecture might not be suitable for environments where agents are undesirable or difficult to deploy |
| - | Performance Overhead | The agent-based model can introduce performance overhead, especially in large-scale environments |
| - | Learning Curve | Advanced features can lead to a steeper learning curve for newcomers, potentially requiring additional time for mastery |
