Key Benefits for Modern DevOps
- Automation: Eliminates repetitive manual procedures through codified configuration.
- Reliability & Consistency: Reduces configuration drift across development, staging, and production environments.
- High Observability: Provides deep telemetry into application and infrastructure health.
