“Using Host Profiles in the vSphere Web Client
The Host Profiles feature creates a profile that encapsulates the host configuration and helps to manage the host configuration, especially in environments where an administrator manages multiple hosts or clusters in vCenter Server.
Host Profiles provide an automated and centrally-managed mechanism for host configuration and configuration compliance. Host Profiles can improve efficiency by reducing reliance upon repetitive, manual tasks. Host Profiles capture the configuration of a pre-configured and validated reference host, store the configuration as a managed object and use the catalog of parameters contained within to configure networking, storage, security and other host-level parameters. Host Profiles can be applied to either individual hosts or to a cluster; applying a Host Profile to a cluster will affect all hosts in the cluster and result in a consistent configuration across all hosts in that cluster.
Host Profiles can be used to validate the configuration of a host by checking compliance of a host or cluster against the Host Profile that is associated with that host or cluster. ”
This is from:http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.hostprofiles.doc/GUID-9340FE80-356E-4457-8581-CE7B2830442E.html

To muddy the waters even more;
Configuration Manager provides the following benefits to the environment:
Improved operational effectiveness by continually auditing configurations in the infrastructure and being able to correct problems to ensure compliance with a given standard configuration
Reduction of security threats due to changes in the environment
Minimized effort needed for configuration compliance in an automated manner Out-of-the-box compliance baselines to cover a broad range of standards that are preconfigured

This is quote from a 5.5 the test is on 6.0. Also IMHO this would seem to apply to the provisioning phase of the life cycle as opposes to day to day support and monitoring.
