Systems and methods to manifest a software architecture blueprint in a virtual infrastructure

A system for creating a manifestation of a software architecture blueprint in a virtual infrastructure, wherein the system comprises:

• an interface configured to:
• receive the software architecture blueprint created by a user, wherein the software architecture blueprint captures an intent of the user in a configuration language that declaratively specifies infrastructure resources to be provisioned;
• a control module configured to:
• facilitate selection of the virtual infrastructure from among a plurality of available cloud infrastructures;
• and
• map each of a plurality of blocks of the software architecture blueprint to a corresponding block of the virtual infrastructure using a map that depends on a type of the virtual infrastructure, wherein each of the plurality of blocks identifies the infrastructure resources to be instantiated in the selected virtual infrastructure;
• and
• an execution module configured to:
• connect to the virtual infrastructure;
• and
• translate one or more corresponding blocks of the software architecture blueprint into an environment for deployment on the virtual infrastructure, wherein the translation provisions the infrastructure resources as computational resources including at least one of virtual machines, containers, networks, or storage in the virtual infrastructure based on the software architecture blueprint.
