Abstract
In embodiments, methods and systems for implementing configuration management are provided. A configuration management system facilitates processing and preserving configurations associated with a software infrastructure. The software infrastructure operates as a co-located environment, high availability environment, disaster recovery environment or migration environment. The configuration management system specifically maintains implementation of firewall configurations for a source computing environment and a destination computing environment. The source computing environment communicates with the destination computing environment using a communication channel via an untrusted network. The configuration management system includes a leader component that accesses the firewall configurations, from the source computing environment, transforms the firewall configurations to a transformed version and communicates the transformed version to the destination computing environment. The configuration management system also includes a follower component that accesses and restores the transformed version into a restored version of the firewall configurations and implements the restored versi…
