Automatic port conflict resolution during application deployment

A computer readable storage medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation for resolving a port conflict when deploying an application, comprising:

• receiving port configuration information specifying a first port for the first application to use once deployed on a server computer;
• identifying a conflict between the port configuration information and a second application that also uses the first port when executed;
• resolving the port conflict by determining port information for an available port;
• and
• deploying the first application on the server computer using the determined port information instead of using the received port information.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory containing a program, which when executed by the processor is configured to perform an operation for resolving a port conflict when deploying an application, comprising:
• receiving port configuration information specifying a first port for the first application to use once deployed on a server computer;
• identifying a conflict between the port configuration information and a second application that also uses the first port when executed;
• resolving the port conflict by determining port information for an available port;
• and
• deploying the first application on the server computer using the determined port information instead of using the received port information.
