What is Configuration Management?

Configuration Management(CM) is:

	Software Configuration Management is the process of identifying and 
	defining components in a system, controlling the release and change
	throughout the life-cycle, recording and reporting the status of 
	components and change requests, and verifying the completeness and
	correctness of systems components
            			-----IEEE standard 729

What are Version Control Systems

Version Control Systems deal with the organization of project components and tracking systems changes. Version control is a major functional area of configuration management, but it is not configuration management in itself.
