US Patent 10263847 Policy validation

Some embodiments provide method for managing a set of computing resources. The method receives information for a set of resources. The information for each resource indicates a set of policies bound to the resource. The policies as bound to the resources are for application by several policy engines. For each of several of the resources, the method determines whether the policies bound to the resource violate a set of policy validation rules. For a subset of the resources for which a violation exists, the method disables at least one of the policies from being applied to the resource by the several policy engines.
