Scenario 4

Randy is working hard to help the company's documentation efforts by documenting the recipes of their cloud computing infrastructure. This documentation involves painstakingly recreating the individual components of the system to ensure that new hires have the proper information they need to set up a local working copy of the computing infrastructure. As a result of a solid Configuration Management plan and strategy, Randy has been able to save the numerous hours needed to document this setup solution by simply reading the Configuration Management automation already created and stored in the source control.

As you can see, Configuration Management strategies when used correctly have the ability to save an organization copious amounts of time and, as a result, money in wasted infrastructure costs.
