Validation of current states of provisioned software products in a cloud environment

A computer system to validate a current state of a provisioned software product started in a cloud environment, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in association with the processor storing instructions related to:
• a receiving module to receive a state file describing a desired state of the provisioned software product, the state file specifying bundles to be installed along with corresponding desired states of the bundles in the provisioned software product;
• a reading module in relation to the receiving module to read the desired states of the specified bundles to be installed;
• a checking module to analyze currently installed bundles and current states of the currently installed bundles in the provisioned software product;
• and
• a comparing module in relation to the reading module and the checking module to compare the bundles specified in the state file to the currently installed bundles and the current states of the currently installed bundles with the desired states of the bundles to determine whether the current state of the provisioned software product corresponds to the desired state of the provisioned software product.

An article of manufacture to validate a current state of a provisioned software product started in a cloud environment, comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• receive a state file describing a desired state of the provisioned software product, the state file specifying bundles to be installed along with corresponding desired states of the bundles in the provisioned software product;
• read the desired states of the specified bundles to be installed;
• analyze currently installed bundles and current states of the currently installed bundles in the provisioned software product;
• and
• compare the bundles specified in the state file to the currently installed bundles and the current states of the currently installed bundles with the desired states of the bundles to determine whether the current state of the provisioned software product corresponds to the desired state of the provisioned software product.

A system comprising:

• one or more computing machine resources for provisioning of a software product;
• a processor;
• a platform repository for storing a plurality of bundles;
• a platform infrastructure comprising instructions that, when executed on the processor:
• receives a descriptor comprising information about the provisioned software product to be started on available computing machine resources from the one or more computing machine resources;
• selects the available computing machine resources;
• selects bundles from the platform repository specified in the descriptor for the provisioned software product;
• installs the selected bundles comprising:
• installing of a bundle specifying a server to host the provisioned software product on the available computing resources;
• and
• creating of a state file describing a desired state of the provisioned software product, the state file specifying the selected bundles to be installed along with corresponding desired states of the bundles in the provisioned software product;
• and
• installing of the rest of the bundles on the installed server applying the desired states described in the state file;
• installs a validation module on the installed server to validate a current state of the provisioned software product, wherein the validation module comprises instructions that, when executed on the processor:
• receives the state file and read the desired states of the specified bundles to be installed;
• analyzes currently installed bundles and current states of the currently installed bundles in the provisioned software product;
• and
• compares the bundles specified in the state file to the currently installed bundles and the current states of the currently installed bundles with the desired states of the bundles to determine whether the current state of the provisioned software product corresponds to the desired state of the provisioned software product;
• identifies bundles from the state file whose current states differ from the desired states, when the current state of the provisioned software product is the undesired state;
• and
• sends notifications to a monitoring system about the current state of the provisioned software product started on the available computing machine resources;
• and
• the monitoring system in relation to the platform infrastructure and the one or more computing machine resources to receive notifications from the validation module about the current state of the provisioned software product.
