Abstract

A system for certifying operating system images includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an operating system image. The processor is configured to create a set of installations using the operating system image, wherein each installation is created using a server role of a set of server roles; to test each installation of the set of installations using a set of tests; to determine whether each installation of the set of installations passes each test of the set of tests; and, in the event that each installation of the set of installations passes each test of the set of tests, to provide an indication to mark the operating system image as a known good operating system image.
