Abstract
Methods and systems for managing distributed systems are disclosed. The distributed systems may include any number of data processing systems that may contribute to the functionality of the distributed system. To contribute to the functionality of the distributed system, each of the data processing systems may need to be configured to positively contribute to one or more functions. To manage configuration of data processing system, intermediate representations of roles may be used to flexibly manage system configuration. The roles may be selected based on an intent with respect to use of services that may be provided by the data processing systems. The intent may be confirmed based on services that may, during their operation, rely on the services that may be provided by the data processing systems.
