1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a request to transform configuration details of a device model of at least one computing device into configuration details for an abstraction model of a level-one logical abstraction of the computing device, wherein: the device model is a digital representation of the computing device; the configuration details of the device model are a digital representation of at least one of: a current configuration of the computing device; a proposed configuration of the computing device; the abstraction model is a digital representation of the level-one logical abstraction of the computing device; the configuration details of the abstraction model are a digital representation of at least one of: a current configuration of the level-one logical abstraction; a proposed configuration of the level-one logical abstraction; the computing device provides a first function; the level-one logical abstraction provides a second function that is built on top of the first function; the second function of the level-one logical abstraction is configurable independent of the first function of the computing device; in response to the request to transform the configuration details of the device model into configuration details for the abstraction model: identifying an up compiler of the abstraction model that can transform the configuration details of the device model into configuration details of the abstraction model; using the up compiler of the abstraction model to transform the configuration details of the device model into configuration details of the abstraction model; using the configuration details of the abstraction model to perform a system-management action.
