Methods and systems for providing configuration management for computing environments

A computer-implemented method for implementing configuration management, the method comprising:

• accessing, using a processor that executes a leader component of a source cloud computing platform, firewall configurations associated with software components in a source computing environment, the firewall configurations having configuration elements that control traffic between software components in the source computing environment when enforced by the source computing environment;
• in response to migration of a portion of software components from the source cloud computing platform to a destination cloud computing platform, initiating configuration preservation operations that include the source computing environs environment transforming the firewall configurations from a source format to an intermediate format that is language independent;
• and
• communicating a transformed version of the firewall configurations in the intermediate format to the destination computing environment to cause implementation of the firewall configurations based on configuration restoration operations performed by the destination computing environment that generate a restored version of the firewall configurations of the firewall configurations in a format of the destination cloud computing platform, wherein configuration restoration operations are performed by a follower component, executed by a processor of the destination cloud computing platform, on the transformed version of the firewall configurations to facilitate maintaining implementation of the firewall configurations for at least communications exchanged between the software components remaining in the source computing environment and the portion of software components being migrated to the destination computing environment.

One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method for implementing configuration management, the method comprising:

• accessing, using a follower component executed by the one or more processors on a destination cloud computing platform, a transformed version of firewall configurations in an intermediate format, wherein the transformed version is transformed from firewall configurations in a source format associated with a source cloud computing platform to the intermediate format, wherein the transformed version of firewall configurations is generated by the source cloud computing platform in response to migration of one or more software components from the source cloud computing platform to a destination cloud computing platform;
• and
• deploying, using the follower component executed by the one or more processors on the destination cloud computing platform, a restored version of the firewall configurations in a destination format associated with the destination cloud computing platform, the restored version in the destination format is generated by the destination cloud computing platform based on the transformed version in the intermediate format, wherein accessing and deploying are part of configuration restoration operations that facilitate maintaining implementation of the firewall configurations for at least communications exchanged between the software components remaining in the source cloud computing platform and the one or more software components that are being migrated to the destination cloud computing platform.
