Assessing computing environment changes using specification documents

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system analyzes an environment specification document that specifies a proposed configuration of a full-stack environment for a computing system and that describes infrastructure, middleware, and application elements. The system correlates the environment specification document with an environment instantiated on the computing system from the environment specification document. The system determines an impact of changes in the proposed configuration on the environment instantiated on the computing system, and configures the computing system in accordance with the proposed configuration based on the determined impact. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for analyzing an environment specification document in substantially the same manners described above.
