Drupal 8 has a shiny new file-based configuration management system via the Configuration Management Initiative (CMI).
The new configuration system provides a much improved API, and import / export functionality built right in to Drupal core.
In this presentation I'll cover:
- Why CMI - what made us do this?
- How - I'll walk you through the overall design
- What - we'll dive in to some CMI files and the basic API
- Demo - because what could possibly go wrong?
- Questions - you bring them, I'll try to answer them
This talk is aimed primarily at developers and site builders who have grappled with Drupal and deployment. I'll assume a good understanding of Drupal concepts and give a fairly technical overview of the new system.
