CCA tools support administrators and developers to automate the configuration and Orchestration of physical and virtual infrastructure in a systematic way that give visibility to state of infrastructure within an enterprise. Generally thought of as an extension of traditional [[Infrastructure as Code]] frameworks, CCA tools leverage IaC to “Change configure and automate infrastructure".<ref name="CCA" /> There are a few different CCA tools including [[Ansible (software)]], [[Chef software]], [[Otter (software)]], [[Puppet software]], and [[SaltStack]].
