A decision tree that branches on team skills, agent preferences, and existing tool expertise to recommend Azure DSC, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet for configuration management.
Recommend a configuration management technology for application infrastructure
Choosing a configuration management technology for Azure infrastructure depends on three main criteria: idempotent operation (the tool can repeatedly apply the same configuration without causing drift), integration with Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, and fit into CI/CD pipelines such as Azure DevOps. Each tool handles these requirements slightly differently, so the best choice depends on the team’s existing skills and the complexity of the environment.
