Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for configuring computing systems. Configuration-related data for the system under evaluation is collected. At least a portion of the configuration-related data is quantitatively analyzed to estimate a configuration complexity of the system under evaluation. The configuration complexity of the system under evaluation is reported based on the quantitative analysis. The technique may further assess a quality of the configuration of the system under evaluation. Then, the reporting step/operation may further report the configuration complexity of the system under evaluation based on the quantitative analysis and the quality assessment.
