Appendix B - Configuration Management Plan
The configuration management plan applies to all configurations in AWS affecting production resources.
Where feasible, record configurations as code in the application monorepo (e.g. terraform, SQL migrations).
Provide detailed instructions for making the change in a trello card added to the CloudCard Release board. If the change cannot be recorded in code, it should be fully detailed in the trello card.
Configuration changes must be tested in the test environment unless it is a change that can only be made to production.
Even in the case of a production-only change, we should seek to test an equivalent change in the test environment.
Another engineer must review all configuration change cards and pull requests.
Configuration changes are typically applied during a release window prior to deploying the application package. Configuration changes that do not apply to an elastic beanstalk environment or that are of low risk can be applied as soon as they are reviewed.
