Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for controlling docking of an edge capacity with a cloud computing system. A bill of materials (BOM) enabled agent, executing on the edge capacity, sends a BOM data structure specifying components of a configuration of the edge capacity. A lookup operation of components of the BOM data structure is performed in a BOM controls mapping data structure to identify controls or policies applicable to the components of the BOM data structure. The identified controls/policies are transmitted to the BOM enabled agent for execution to determine if there are any violations. Results of the identified controls or policies are received which specify whether there are any violations of the controls/policies. In response to at least one violation being detected, docking of the edge capacity with the cloud computing system is denied. In response to no violations, the edge capacity docks with the cloud computing system.
