1. A modular switch system, comprising:
a set of operating characteristics for a plurality of pre-defined configured switch systems;
a plurality of clusters of disaggregated components that correspond with each of the set of operating characteristics, wherein each of the plurality of clusters of disaggregated components comprise:
a policy manager,
one or more configurable options that process a workload received by a currently configured switch system in accordance with the each of the set of operating characteristics, and
a plugin configured to implement the set of operating characteristics of a cluster of disaggregated components;
a commodity switch computing device configured to select a first configured switch system from the plurality of pre-defined configured switch systems;
a processor; and
a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
determine the plurality of clusters of disaggregated components that define the set of operating characteristics of a second configured switch system, wherein the first configured switch system in the plurality of pre-defined configured switch system is different than the second configured switch system in the plurality of pre-defined configured switch system; and
adjust the currently configured switch system to correspond with the second configured switch system, wherein the second configured switch system processes the workload using the plurality of clusters of disaggregated components associated with the second configured switch system that are different than the first configured switch system.
