1. A system comprising:

  • at least one processor of a computing device;

    a memory of the computing device; and

    at least one module loaded into the memory causing the at least one processor to;

    receive a system of interconnected subsystems;

    receive a set of system changes comprising imperative commands that are specific to a particular target environment and declarative definitions for the system of interconnected subsystems;

    convert the imperative commands to declarative definitions by;

    applying the set of changes to the system of interconnected subsystems to create an updated system, the set of changes comprising the imperative commands;

    comparing the system of interconnect subsystems and the updated system to compute a set of declarative definitions equivalent to the set of changes comprising the imperative commands;

    parse the set of declarative definitions equivalent to the set of changes in to domain specific declarative models to create a source model and a target model;

    compare the source model and the target model to create a delta model;

    determine an impact of application of the set of changes by running domain specific rules on the delta model; and

    transform the set of declarative definitions equivalent to the set of changes from a machine-consumable form to a natural language presentation, the natural language presentation providing information about user actions associated with the set of changes, the natural language presentation further comprising a warning section that provides information associated with the set of changes that describes potential undesirable effects of the changes.
