Abstract

One of the features introduced in WMF 5.0 is partial configurations. Chapter 2 featured a very brief overview of this feature. Partial configurations can help in an IT organization where multiple individuals are responsible for the configuration of the infrastructure. Partial configurations enable delegation of configuration management tasks and separation of the common configuration from node-specific configurations. By saying common configuration, I refer to the baseline configuration that applies to a subset of the nodes in an infrastructure. Each administrator responsible for his/her configuration can author and manage it independent of what other administrators author, thereby eliminating any human errors involved in updating a single configuration document.
