Abstract
A system and method for configuring systems uses layered profiles. A separate profile is selected for multiple characteristics of a particular system. Each selected profile may then be used to generate a configuration layer associated with each selected profile. The system may then use multiple configuration layers to configure a system, resulting in a system configured according to the selected profiles.
