Abstract
A method for managing a virtual infrastructure is described. The method includes: generating a configuration information model representing a virtual infrastructure based on known virtual machines and network settings thereon; querying one or more sources of truth other than the known virtual machines, wherein the one or more sources of truth includes a data storage that stores at least one data object that answers a particular question; and comparing the data from the one or more sources of truth with a store of configuration model information, wherein the configuration model information comprises a time stamp and a source identifier; based on the comparing, generates a set of rules; and based on the set of rules, updates the configuration information model.
