Automated mocking of computer system deployments

A method, comprising:

• associating, by a first system comprising a processor, respective properties, of a first deployment of a second system on a first computing device, with respective automation mapping functions;
• scaling, by the first system, a first subset of the respective properties of the first deployment, associated with a first one of the automation mapping functions, according to a first scaling factor;
• scaling, by the first system, a second subset of the respective properties of the first deployment, associated with a second one of the automation mapping functions, according to a second scaling factor;
• executing, by the first system, the automation mapping functions in an order defined by dependencies between respective ones of the automation mapping functions, resulting in a series of system modeling tasks;
• and
• performing, by the first system, the series of system modeling tasks, resulting in a second deployment of the second system being created on a second computing device that is different from the first computing device, wherein the performing of the series of system modeling tasks is based on bound variable inputs, associated with the dependencies between the automation mapping functions, and deployment variable inputs, given by the properties of the first deployment as scaled by the first scaling factor and the second scaling factor.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• associating properties of a first deployment of a data storage system, as implemented on a first computing site, to automation mapping functions according to deployment data associated with the first deployment;
• scaling a first portion of the properties of the first deployment, associated with a first one of the automation mapping functions, using a first scaling factor;
• scaling a second portion of the properties of the first deployment, associated with a second one of the automation mapping functions, using a second scaling factor;
• executing the automation mapping functions in an order defined by dependencies between respective ones of the automation mapping functions, resulting in an ordered series of deployment transfer tasks;
• and
• executing the ordered series of deployment transfer tasks, resulting in a second deployment of the data storage system being created on a second computing site that is distinct from the first computing site, wherein the executing of the ordered series of deployment transfer tasks is based on bound variable inputs, associated with the dependencies between the respective ones of the automation mapping functions, and deployment variable inputs, given by the properties of the first deployment as scaled by the first scaling factor and the second scaling factor.
