Configuration Management
It is common practice to store this YAML configuration in Git. Unfortunately, a file based UI becomes unwieldy at scale because it's not queryable. For large scale configuration management, you often grow out of YAML. Your configuration becomes data and you need a database to store it, not files.
By adopting Dolt for configuration management, you can have Git-style version control and the ability to query large scale sets of configuration. Nautobot, a network configuration management tool, leverages Dolt to allow Network engineers to share network configuration data more easily. Nautobot was built to be backed by Postgres, but by moving it to Dolt, Nautobot was able to support Git-style versioning, including integrated code review via Pull Requests.
Dolt is the database for configuration management.
