Abstract
Solutions for balancing speed and risk by managing configuration changes include: receiving a second configuration item for displacement, in an exposure group, of a first configuration item; receiving an exposure state, wherein the exposure state indicates an exposure tree comprising a first configuration item branch and a second configuration item branch; determining, based at least on the exposure state: a first portion of the exposure group to continue with the first configuration item, and a second portion of the exposure group to receive the second configuration item; deploying the second configuration item to the second portion of the exposure group, in accordance with the exposure state; receiving, from the central orchestrator, an updated exposure state; and deploying the second configuration item in accordance with the updated exposure state. In some examples, the exposure tree is a hierarchical binary tree. An exemplary configuration item includes a software application version.
