Two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code templates and instances

A system for two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• instantiating a current local run-time state model in a local repository using a template of a current global model;
• detecting, by a run-time monitor of a local computing system, a change event to a run-time state of the local computing system;
• in response to detecting the change event, triggering an update of the current local run-time state model, including transforming the change event into a form suitable for the local run-time state model;
• in response to updating the local run-time state model, comparing the updated local model to the current global model;
• in response to the comparison determining a structural difference between the updated local model and the current global model:
• merging the updated local model and the current global model into a new model;
• converting the new model into a textual representation conforming to a notation model;
• mapping concepts of the converted model and the notation model to create a result file;
• and
• updating a local clone of the template of the current global model using the result file;
• in response to the comparison determining no structural difference between the updated local model and the current global model, pushing changes to the global model to a remote repository.

A computer program product for two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising:

• instantiating a current local run-time state model in a local repository using a template of a current global model;
• detecting, by a run-time monitor of a local computing system, a change event to a run-time state of the local computing system;
• in response to detecting the change event, triggering an update of the current local run-time state model, including transforming the change event into a form suitable for the local run-time state model;
• in response to updating the local run-time state model, comparing the updated local model to the current global model;
• in response to the comparison determining a structural difference between the updated local model and the current global model:
• merging the updated local model and the current global model into a new model;
• converting the new model into a textual representation conforming to a notation model;
• mapping concepts of the converted model and the notation model to create a result file;
• and
• updating a local clone of the template of the current global model using the result file;
• in response to the comparison determining no structural difference between the updated local model and the current global model, pushing changes to the global model to a remote repository.
