13. A system comprising: at least one memory device configured to store executable code; and at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one memory device, the processor configured to execute the code in order to perform the operations of: identifying, by the at least one processor, a template from a set of templates, each template included in the set of templates including respective meta-data describing a configuration for a corresponding computing services platform, and the template being associated with a translation program that translates the template into a service blueprint for a computing services platform associated with the service blueprint; verifying the translation program associated with the template, the verifying comprising the operations of: applying a first fitness function to the translation program; determining, by the first fitness function, whether the translation program is valid; based on the first fitness function determining that the translation program is valid, applying a second fitness function to the translation program; and determining, by the second fitness function, whether the translation program is valid; and based on the second fitness function determining that the translation program is valid and based on the first fitness function determining that the translation program is valid, adding the translation program to a set of validated translation programs for use in translating the set of templates.
15. The system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising: generating, by the translation program, a translation of the template into a service blueprint; wherein the operation of determining, by the first fitness function, that the translation program is valid comprises determining that the service blueprint is semantically accurate and self-consistent; and wherein the operation of determining, by the second fitness function, that the translation program is valid comprises determining that the service blueprint corresponds, within a given degree of accuracy, with a runtime state of the computing services platform associated with the service blueprint.
