Build automation refers to automated compilation, packaging, and testing of software artifacts during a development pipeline; it does not involve enforcing or rolling back runtime system configuration.

Infrastructure as code (IaC) is the practice of defining and provisioning infrastructure through version-controlled declarative files (e.g., Terraform); while related to configuration, it does not specifically describe the runtime enforcement and drift-rollback behavior these tools perform.

Automated configuration management refers to software that compares a system's live state against a stored desired configuration baseline and automatically corrects any deviations. SUSE Manager, Red Hat Satellite, and Spacewalk function as centralized configuration management platforms that detect unauthorized file changes and roll them back to the approved baseline - the defining characteristic of this concept.

Agentless system management describes a management approach where the control plane connects to remote systems over standard protocols (e.g., SSH) without installing a persistent agent; SUSE Manager and Red Hat Satellite typically use agents, and this term does not describe the rollback behavior.
