    摘要: Various methods, systems, and use cases for a stable and automated transformation of a networked computing system are provided, to enable a transformation to the configuration of the computing system (e.g., software or firmware upgrade, hardware change, etc.). In an example, automated operations include: identifying a transformation to apply to a configuration of the computing system, for a transformation that affects a network service provided by the computing system; identifying operational conditions used to evaluate results of the transformation; attempting to apply the transformation, using a series of stages that have rollback positions when the identified operational conditions are not satisfied; and determining a successful or unsuccessful result of the attempt to apply the transformation. For an unsuccessful result, remediation may be performed to the configuration, with use of one or more rollback positions; for a successful result, a new restore state is established from the completion state.
