Claim Text:
1. A computing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory in communication with the at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored therein computer instructions, that upon execution by the at least one processor, at least cause: in a computing environment comprising a plurality of computing devices providing computing resources, receiving a request for a computing resource with a desired computing attribute; identifying at least one of the plurality of computing devices in the computing environment to provide the desired computing attribute; translating the requested computing attribute to corresponding hardware-specific firmware settings on the identified at least one computing device, said translating performed based on predetermined mappings between the hardware-specific firmware settings and abstracted firmware settings that are different from the hardware-specific firmware settings and wherein the mappings are indicated via an interface operative to translate a plurality of computing attributes to the hardware-specific firmware settings and wherein the mappings are in accordance with a firmware abstraction framework configured to perform the translating; and deploying the requested computing resource on the identified computing device for verification that the requested computing resource executes in accordance with predetermined performance criteria when the corresponding hardware-specific firmware settings are implemented on the identified computing device.
