Abstract
Various technologies described herein pertain to controlling configuration of a computing device. A configuration request can be received, at the computing device, from a configuration source external to the computing device. The configuration request can include configuration data for a dependent feature. An evaluation can be performed at the computing device to determine whether a dependency graph for the dependent feature is satisfied. The dependency graph for the dependent feature can specify interdependencies between configurations of a set of features such that remaining features in the set of features are to be configured prior to enabling the dependent feature to be configured. Moreover, the dependent feature can be configured based on the configuration data when the dependency graph for the dependent feature is satisfied. The configuring of the dependent feature based on the configuration data can be prohibited prior to the dependency graph for the dependent feature being satisfied.
