Methods for synchronizing configurations between computing systems using human computer interfaces.

Computer-aided computer system configuration techniques for adding new computing resources to an existing set of computing resources.

A method embodiment commences upon identifying an existing computing system having a first set of configuration parameters. A second computing system having a second set of configuration parameters is deployed. A user interface is provided to accept user input comprising a location and protocol to access the existing computing system.

Syntactical and semantic differences between the configuration parameters of the existing computing system and those of the newly added set are identified.

The identified differences are analyzed to generate a parameter map that relates the existing set of configuration parameters to the second set of configuration parameters and vice-versa. Relationships that are codified in the parameter map are validated through user interactions.

The second set of configuration parameters are modified or augmented such that parameters can be synchronized between the two computing systems.
