AllCode has developed an automated process for configuration management, which has been successfully implemented in customer examples for URComped’s Control Tower Migration and TrueAccord. We utilize AWS Systems Manager to collect software inventory data, apply OS patches, and run maintenance tasks using SSM Automation Documents. The basic configuration of Systems Manager is deployed via Control Tower, which sets up CloudFormation Templates to synchronize resource data to a central account/bucket and establish maintenance windows for automated instance patching via instance tags.
If AWS Systems Manager is not leveraged, AllCode uses the following tools and processes to ensure efficient configuration management. AllCode will:
- Collect Software Inventory: Utilizing scripts and third-party tools to gather detailed software inventory data across all instances.
- Apply OS Patches: Implementing automated patch management solutions, such as using Ansible or Chef, to ensure all systems are up-to-date with the latest security patches.
- Create System Images: Using tools like Packer to automate the creation of system images, ensuring consistency and reliability across environments. We’ve also leveraged EC2 Image Builder
- Containerization: Using Docker.
- Configure Operating Systems: Employing configuration management tools like Puppet or SaltStack to automate the configuration of Windows and Linux operating systems.
