Abstract
Systems and methods are described for managing computing resources. In one embodiment, groupings of computer resources having common firmware settings are maintained based on an abstraction firmware framework representing associations between vendor-specific firmware settings and abstracted firmware settings that provide a degree of independence from specific vendor-specific firmware settings. In response to a request for a computer resource with a specified abstracted firmware configuration, it is determined which of the groupings can support the specified abstracted firmware configuration based on at least one criterion for managing the computer resources in accordance with the abstraction firmware framework.
