What is Elektra?

Elektra is a configuration management system that provides a universal and secure way to store, retrieve, and manage configuration settings for software applications. It overcomes the limitations of traditional configuration files by offering a hierarchical key-value store, ACID properties for reliable updates, and a modular plugin architecture for supporting various configuration file formats and backends. It is commonly used to centralize and standardize configuration across different systems, enabling easier management, validation, and auditing of configuration data.
