Abstract
A system and method for evaluating definitions from a markup language document for agentless host configuration of an image in a virtualized computing environment generates an instruction to deploy a virtual instance based on a base image, the virtual instance including a disk. The method further includes generating an inspectable disk based on the disk of the virtual instance; receiving a markup language document, the document including a plurality of definitions, each including a data element; inspecting the inspectable disk for a cybersecurity object corresponding to a data element of a first definition of the plurality of definitions; evaluating the first definition based on the cybersecurity object to generate an evaluated first definition result, in response to determining that the definition is evaluable; generating an output based on the evaluated first definition result; and generating the output based on a notification, in response to determining that the definition is unevaluable.
