A Configuration Management System (or CMS) assists with ensuring compliance when changes are proposed to be made to the infrastructure elements of a data center. Configuration state information is collected and stored as a set of features and feature attributes. Specified actions that may be taken with the infrastructure elements are preferably stored in a library. Projected configuration snapshots are determined and compared against compliance policies associated with each infrastructure element. Compliance checks that fail are preferably presented to a user who may then implement additional actions to compensate for the failure and then again request compliance testing. Compliance checks that pass they be stored in a queue waiting to then be further implemented by a human the demonstrator for automated agent when appropriate.
