Config Management for Drupal Multi-site and Distributions
Drupal 8's Configuration Management System is a modern marvel. We now have a standard way to export, store, and import configuration files.
When working on a single site, built on a fresh Drupal 8 install, the process is pretty straightforward and there are many tools to help along the way.
But what if you're building lots of similar sites? Like a multi-site? Or maybe a Drupal Distribution? Or Install Profile? Or Sub-Profile? In Drupal 7 we had Features. Do we still need that?
