US Patent 10505805 Computing resources checkpoint restoration

A configuration management system may receive information defining a threshold range of deviation from a baseline configuration of at least one computing resource. The system may acquire periodic records of configuration information, from which it may be determined if the current configuration at least one computing resource has deviation from the baseline outside of the tolerated threshold. A record indicative of a prior configuration within a threshold configuration deviation may be identified. A template may be formed based on the record. The at least one computing resource may be reconfigured, based on the template, to be within the threshold configuration deviation.
