Deep-research notes backing **ConfigAtlas** — the configuration control plane for
|
|||
|
|
discovering, mapping, explaining, and governing the living configuration surface
|
|||
|
|
of fast-moving companies.

This directory is the *evidence layer* for the product thesis. It is not part of
|
|||
|
|
the configuration surface registry (`registry/`); it is the reasoning and sourcing
|
|||
|
|
behind the registry's design choices.

|------|------------|
|
|||
|
|
| [`configuration-control-plane.md`](configuration-control-plane.md) | Main digest: what the configuration control plane is, why it matters, the layering and resolution model, adjacent topics, and where ConfigAtlas fits. |
|
|||
|
|
| [`sources.md`](sources.md) | Annotated bibliography — every cited source with a one-line note on why it matters. |

## Method
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synthesized 2026-06-26 from the repo's own wiki material plus web research across
|
|||
|
|
vendor docs, primary-source engineering writing (Brian Grant / KRM, InfoQ, CUE),
|
|||
|
|
and 2024–2026 outage retrospectives. Sources captured in `sources.md`; claims tied
|
|||
|
|
to live behavior of tools are dated because this category is moving fast.
