Computing cluster configuration standardization

Abstract

Systems and techniques for computing cluster configuration standardization are described herein. Configuration data obtained for a plurality of computing systems may be evaluated. A first computing cluster may be identified based on first configuration data for a first set of computing systems. A second computing cluster may be identified based on second configuration data for a second set of computing systems. A score may be calculated for the second computing cluster based on an evaluation of the second configuration data using the first configuration data. The second computing cluster may be associated with the first computing cluster based on the score. A standard configuration may be selected to be applied to the first set of computing systems and the second set of computing systems using the first configuration data.
