Abstract
A recommendation engine evaluates different combinations of available versions of different software images that make up a virtualization software to be installed in a host computer, and recommends one or more of the valid combinations for installation or upgrade. Upon acceptance of the recommended image, a software specification that expresses the desired state of the virtualization software is updated to include versions of the different software images that are in the recommended valid combination.
