Abstract

A computing resource policy specification (CRPRS) applies to a set of computing resources that share at least a portion of a first domain. The CRPRS comprises a plurality of rules describing a set of requirements with which a given computing resource in the set must comply. A determination is made, based at least in part on information received from a job scheduler, that an assessment of a particular computing resource for compliance with a first subset of rules included in the CRPRS should be initiated at a first time. A different subset of rules for compliance assessment is selected at a different time. A pre-scan associated with the particular computing resource is performed to assess functionality provided by the particular computing resource. A test set, of a subset of the tests associated with the assessment, is selected, and an assessment that uses the test set is dispatched and results of the assessment are delivered.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a processor configured to:
determine, based at least in part on information received from a job scheduler, that an assessment of a first computing resource for compliance with a first subset of rules included in a computing resource policy regime specification (CRPRS) should be initiated at a first time, wherein the job scheduler is configured to select a different subset of rules included in the CRPRS for a compliance assessment of the first computing resource at a different time, wherein the CRPRS is associated with a set of computing resources sharing at least a portion of a first domain, wherein the first computing resource is included in the set of computing resources sharing the at least a portion of the first domain name, wherein the CRPRS is applicable to the set of computing resources sharing at least a portion of the first domain name, and wherein the CRPRS comprises a plurality of rules describing a set of requirements with which a given computing resource belonging to the set must comply;
initiate a pre-scan associated with the first computing resource, wherein the pre-scan is configured to assess functionality provided by the first computing resource;
select as a test set, based at least in part on pre-scan results, a subset of possible tests associated with the assessment;
dispatch the assessment of the first computing resource, using the test set;
and
deliver results of the assessment;
and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
