Best practice of manage configuration change via iControl and manual interaction

Most of the time when we talk about orchestration we address industrialized configuration and proven processes. So it means if you allow direct modification either you are in a fire and forget mode ( you use orchestration just for bulk first configuration phase) or you really take care of configuration state ( your orchestration tools is validating each time that what must be done could be done).

It s not like it s a bad idea. But it moves a little bit the industrialization concept behind orchestration.
