Abstract: A workload-intent-based LCS resource capability configuration system includes a resource management system coupled to resource devices. The resource management system receives a request to provide an LCS that includes workload intent identifying requirements of a workload the LCS will perform, and identifies a subset of the resource devices for providing the LCS to perform the workload. The resource management system then determines resource capabilities required from the subset of the resource devices to satisfy the workload intent, determines driver(s) required for the subset of the resource devices, and provides configuration information for driver(s) that is configured to limit driver-enabled capabilities available from the driver(s) for the subset of the resource devices to the resource capabilities required from the subset of the resource devices to satisfy the workload intent. The resource management system then provides the driver(s) for the subset of the resource devices.
