Abstract
Method and systems provide tools for evaluating the impact of component deprecations with a datacenter formed from a plurality of IHSs. Upon receiving a notification of a deprecated component, configuration files that invoke the deprecated component and are in use within the datacenter are identified. Estimates are generated for the resources that would be required to replace references to the deprecated component within the identified configuration files. Estimates may be generated based on compilation errors, test suite failures and historical error repair data. A tree is generated of the dependencies on the deprecated component within the identified configuration files. Based on characteristics of the dependency tree and also based on the resource estimates for replacing references to the deprecated component, a risk level is generated for the deprecated component. The risk level may be generated for individual IHSs, groups of IHSs, or an entire data center.
