Immutability & loose coupling: a match made in heaven

Puppet

Automating mutable systems is often referred to as Configuration Management, and leverages tools such as Cfengine, Puppet, Chef, or Ansible. This tooling uses principles based on the concepts of target state, idempotence, and somewhat related to Mark Burgess’ Promise Theory. Configuration Management aims to make the system convergent, by running a tool on a regular basis, in order to resynchronize the system with its target state. Some of these tools (e.g. mgmt) also attempt to reach congruence by adopting a reactive approach, triggering corrective actions on events.

Helm.sh

Where Configuration Management tools ensure a convergence of states for mutable systems such as VMs, packaging tools such as Helm and Helmfile can be used to periodically re-synchronize containers and other immutable objects with their target state.
