A computer-implemented method for monitoring and auditing secure software builds is disclosed. The computer-implemented includes receiving a build file containing a sequence of build instructions. The computer-implemented method further includes, for each build instruction being executed: determining an indicator value corresponding to a monitoring level associated with a build instruction; and modifying logging of trace information associated with a computing system executing the build instruction based, at least in part, on the indicator value corresponding to the monitoring level.

Monitoring and auditing secure software builds

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product, and computer system for reconfiguration of a computing environment from an as-is input/output (I/O) configuration to a to-be I/O configuration. An embodiment may include normalizing respective hierarchical models of the as-is and the to-be I/O configurations. The hierarchical models each comprise a hierarchical structure of leaf and non-leaf nodes. Normalizing comprises the application of syntactical transformation rules to the hierarchical models such that their respective I/O configurations are defined in a syntactically consistent manner. An embodiment may include creating respective hash tree representations of the first hierarchical model and the second hierarchical model. Nodes of the hash tree representations are checksum values. Nodes of the hash tree representations reflect the hierarchical structure of their respective hierarchical models. An embodiment may include pruning one or more nodes of the hash tree representations.

Selective pruning of a system configuration model for system reconfigurations

Proactively performing tasks based on estimating hardware reconfiguration times. A determination is made, prior to performing one or more reconfiguration actions to reconfigure a configuration of the computing environment, at least one estimated reconfiguration time to perform the one or more reconfiguration actions. At least one reconfiguration action of the one or more reconfiguration actions is performed, and one or more tasks are initiated prior to completing the one or more reconfiguration actions. The initiating is based on the at least one estimated reconfiguration time.
