Computer system management in compliance with best practices

摘要

Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for maintaining computer systems in compliance with best practices. A configuration data set is received specifying a plurality of operational parameters, and, for each operational parameter, a target setting for the operational parameter. For each operational parameter of the plurality of operational parameters: a computer system is queried for a current setting of the operational parameter on the computer system; it is determined whether the current setting of the operational parameter complies with the target setting for the operational parameter; and a command is sent to the computer system to change the current setting of the operational parameter on the computer system to conform with the target setting for the operational parameter.
