What is your experience with configuration management systems?

Experience with Configuration Management Systems typically includes:

• Using tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, or Terraform for automating deployment and infrastructure configuration.
• Creating and maintaining scripts and playbooks for software installation, server configuration, and dependency management.
• Managing configuration versions to ensure reproducibility and change control.
• Integrating with CI/CD systems for automatic deployment and environment updates.

For example, with Ansible, you can describe server configuration in a YAML file and run it for automatic setup:

- hosts: webservers
  tasks:
    - name: Install nginx
      apt:
        name: nginx
        state: present
    - name: Start nginx service
      service:
        name: nginx
        state: started
        enabled: yes

This approach helps reduce errors during manual configuration and speeds up deployment.
