Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for implementing extensible upgrade and modification as a service are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes processing one or more modifiers, wherein each modifier includes an independent processing unit having a given canonical structure and is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to at least one of application modification and application migration; obtaining data pertaining to multiple applications across multiple computing environments; determining, based at least in part on processing at least a portion of the obtained data, at least one of the one or more modifiers applicable for use in executing at least one of the one or more automated actions in connection with at least a portion of the multiple applications; and executing the at least one of the one or more automated actions using the at least one determined modifier.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

processing multiple modifiers, wherein each modifier comprises an independent processing unit having a given canonical structure, wherein at least a first of the multiple modifiers is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to application modification pertaining at least to application versioning, and wherein at least a second of the multiple modifiers is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to application migration;
obtaining data pertaining to multiple applications across multiple computing environments;
determining, based at least in part on processing at least a portion of the obtained data, at least a portion of the multiple modifiers applicable for use in connection with at least a portion of the multiple applications, wherein determining the at least a portion of the multiple modifiers comprises determining a combination of two or more of the modifiers for concurrent use, wherein the combination of two or more of the modifiers is determined based at least in part on satisfying one or more action orchestration requirements associated with the at least a portion of the multiple applications using the combination of two or more of the modifiers;
and
executing one or more of at least one of the one or more automated actions related to application modification and at least one of the one or more automated actions related to application migration using the at least a portion of the multiple modifiers determined for use;
wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

3 more elements

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device:

to process multiple modifiers, wherein each modifier comprises an independent processing unit having a given canonical structure, wherein at least a first of the multiple modifiers is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to application modification pertaining at least to application versioning, and wherein at least a second of the multiple modifiers is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to application migration;
to obtain data pertaining to multiple applications across multiple computing environments;
to determine, based at least in part on processing at least a portion of the obtained data, at least a portion of the multiple modifiers applicable for use in connection with at least a portion of the multiple applications, wherein determining the at least a portion of the multiple modifiers comprises determining a combination of two or more of the modifiers for concurrent use, wherein the combination of two or more of the modifiers is determined based at least in part on satisfying one or more action orchestration requirements associated with the at least a portion of the multiple applications using the combination of two or more of the modifiers;
and
to execute one or more of at least one of the one or more automated actions related to application modification and at least one of the one or more automated actions related to application migration using the at least a portion of the multiple modifiers determined for use.

2 more elements

An apparatus comprising:

at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
the at least one processing device being configured:
to process multiple modifiers, wherein each modifier comprises an independent processing unit having a given canonical structure, wherein at least a first of the multiple modifiers is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to application modification pertaining at least to application versioning, and wherein at least a second of the multiple modifiers is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to application migration;
to obtain data pertaining to multiple applications across multiple computing environments;
to determine, based at least in part on processing at least a portion of the obtained data, at least a portion of the multiple modifiers applicable for use in connection with at least a portion of the multiple applications, wherein determining the at least a portion of the multiple modifiers comprises determining a combination of two or more of the modifiers for concurrent use, wherein the combination of two or more of the modifiers is determined based at least in part on satisfying one or more action orchestration requirements associated with the at least a portion of the multiple applications using the combination of two or more of the modifiers;
and
to execute one or more of at least one of the one or more automated actions related to application modification and at least one of the one or more automated actions related to application migration using the at least a portion of the multiple modifiers determined for use.
