Description: Application Configuration Management refers to the process of managing and maintaining software configurations to ensure their integrity and availability, especially in cloud environments. This approach is crucial to ensure that applications can be effectively restored after a disaster, minimizing downtime and data loss. Configuration management involves tracking software versions, documenting configurations, and implementing security policies that protect application integrity. In a cloud security context, this translates into the need to establish access controls and audits to prevent insecure configurations. Additionally, within the framework of Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), configuration management allows organizations to quickly restore their applications to a functional state after a disruptive event. Finally, in a Zero Trust environment, where it is assumed that no entity inside or outside the network is trustworthy, configuration management becomes an essential component to ensure that applications operate under strict security policies and that any changes in configuration are monitored and validated.
