1. A method for managing a data processing system, comprising:
making an identification that a service hosted at least in part by the data processing system is classified as an undefined service, the service being classified as the undefined service by a transition of the data processing system from a first state to a second state, and the second state being a desired operating state for the data processing system and the service being classified as the undefined service is not listed among services associated with the second state;
based on the identification:
making a determination regarding whether the data processing system is storing an undefine policy associated with the undefined service;
in a first instance of the determination where the data processing system is storing the undefine policy associated with the undefined service:
retrieving the undefine policy, the undefine policy specifying one or more actions that are barred from being executed on the undefined service by the data processing system; and
using the undefine policy to perform a first action set to attempt to transition the data processing system to the desired operating state while preventing unintended actions from being executed on the undefined service, the first action set transitioning the data processing system to a third state; and
in a second instance of the determination where the data processing system is not storing the undefine policy associated with the undefined service:
performing a second action set to attempt to transition the data processing system to the desired operating state, the second action set transitioning the data processing system to a fourth state.
