1. A method of providing a context sensitive information technology (IT) management prescription, said method comprising: receiving at a cloud-based entity a request from a user; in response to receiving the request, sending instructions to an entity in a target computing environment such that the entity, in response to receiving the instructions, scans the target computing environment and collects data from said scan, the scanning including (a) patch management scanning to discover patches installed to software of physical machines and virtual machines in said target computing environment, and (b) network discovery scanning to discover the physical machines and the virtual machines in said target computing environment; receiving at the cloud-based entity portions of said data from said scan of the target computing environment after the portions of the data are collected from the scan; parsing said data at said cloud-based entity in accordance with a dynamic set of rules; determining an IT management prescription specific to a context of said target computing environment based on the parsing of the data, the IT management prescription including: (1) an alert configured to notify the user of an attribute of the target computing environment, and (2) a set of actions, each action from the set of actions configured to cause an operation to be performed within the target computing environment; determining that a first operation associated with a first action from the set of actions cannot be performed within the target computing environment based on restrictions associated with the target computing environment; removing the first action from the IT management prescription in response to determining that the first operation associated with the first action cannot be performed; providing said IT management prescription to the entity in the target computing environment for access by said user after removing the first action from the IT management prescription such that a second operation associated with a second action from the set of actions is performed in the target computing environment.
