Cloud Config
Noun · Development
Definitions
Configuration that controls how cloud resources, services, or workloads are provisioned and behave, often expressed through files, templates, or platform settings. Cloud config errors are a common source of environment drift, broken deployments, and unexpected runtime behavior in distributed systems.
In plain English: The settings and configuration used to control cloud infrastructure and services.
Example: "The outage came from a cloud config change that pointed the worker fleet at the wrong message queue and silently drained the wrong region."
