Automated approval of a non-compliance of a modified configuration of a computer system includes performing a compliance check by a compliance management system. The modified configuration results from deploying a pre-approved modification pattern by a package management system modifying an initial configuration of the computer system. The modification pattern is provided by a software package that specifies at least one modification to be applied to the initial configuration and at least one compliance exception pre-approval specifying pre-approved non-compliances of modifications with compliance rules. Responsive to detecting a non-compliance, the non-compliance is compared with the pre-approved non-compliances. In response to determining that the detected non-compliances are not matching any pre-approved non-compliances, a compliance exception approval is requested. The detected non-compliance is approved in response to receiving the compliance exception approval for the detected non-compliances.
