Abstract
The system generates evidence of a recommended configuration for a distributed system based on a plurality of configuration parameters. The system displays, on a screen of a user device, the evidence, which includes a list of configuration parameters, including a name, a current value, and a recommended value for a respective configuration parameter. The recommended value is obtained based on a strategy for optimizing security, functionality, or both. The system further displays interactive elements which allow the user to: view a resolution of a pair of mutually incompatible constraints resulting in the recommended value for the respective configuration parameter, wherein the resolution includes a name of the configuration parameter removed from the list and a reason for the removal; and view information associated with each of the pair of mutually incompatible constraints, wherein the information includes a name, a goal, a security impact, and a description of the constraint.
