Digital twin of IT infrastructure

A cloud-computing system for creating a digital twin of an information technology (IT) infrastructure and replicating a portion of the IT infrastructure, the cloud-computing system comprising:

• a memory embodied with instructions for identifying a collection of base servers in the IT infrastructure and generating the digital twin that is executable to function as the identified collection of base servers;
• and
• a processor programmed to:
• receive a request to create the digital twin of the IT infrastructure,
• access telemetry data of the IT infrastructure,
• identify base servers in the IT infrastructure,
• create a server graph representing the base servers and distances between the base servers in the IT infrastructure, wherein the server graph comprises code created to represent the base servers and connections therebetween, and
• store the server graph as part of the digital twin, wherein the digital twin is executable to create a replicated portion of the IT infrastructure.

A method for deploying a digital twin of an information technology (IT) infrastructure that replicates a portion of the IT infrastructure in a cloud-computing environment, the method comprising:

• accessing telemetry data of the IT infrastructure;
• identifying servers and corresponding server-connection data in the IT infrastructure;
• identifying base servers of the IT infrastructure through comparing the telemetry data and the server-connection data with data sets of other identified servers from other IT infrastructures;
• creating scripts that are executable to function as the base servers;
• receiving an on-demand request from a user or an automatic condition being satisfied to deploy the digital twin;
• and
• incident to the on-demand request or the automatic condition being satisfied, executing the scripts to function as the base servers and replicate the IT infrastructure.

A computer storage media device that stores computer-executable instructions that are executable by a processor to at least:

• receive a request to create a digital twin of an information technology (IT) infrastructure;
• access telemetry data of the IT infrastructure;
• identify base servers in the IT infrastructure;
• identify distances between the base servers in the IT infrastructure from the telemetry data, the distances comprising intervening edges or nodes between at least two of the base servers;
• create a server graph representing the base servers and the distances between the base servers in the IT infrastructure;
• and
• store the server graph in a cloud-computing environment as part of the digital twin, wherein the digital twin is executable to create a replicated portion of the IT infrastructure in the cloud-computing environment.
