Abstract
A method of instantiating a topology-based service using a blueprint, includes, with a topology designer, modeling the blueprint as a topology, with a resource offering manager, associating a number of policies and a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) with a number of nodes within the topology, and with a lifecycle management (LCM) engine, instantiating the topology based on the policies and LCMAs.

A method of instantiating a topology-based service using a blueprint as input, comprising:
- with a topology designer, modeling the blueprint as a topology;
- with a resource offering manager, associating a number of policies and a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) with a number of nodes within the topology;
- and
- with a lifecycle management (LCM) engine, instantiating the topology based on the policies and LCMAs.
A system for instantiating a topology-based service using a blueprint, comprising:
- a topology designer to model the blueprint as a topology;
- a resource offering manager to associate a number of policies and a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) with a number of nodes within the topology;
- and
- a lifecycle management (LCM) engine to instantiate the topology based on the policies and LCMAs,
- in which the blueprint comprises a number of containment relationships, the containment relationships defining a number of hierarchical relationships between objects within the blueprint.
A computer program product for stitching an application model to a blueprint-derived topology, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium comprising computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, derive a topology from a blueprint to create a blueprint-derived topology;
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, stitch the blueprint-derived topology to an application model based on a number of dependencies derived between the nodes of the blueprint to form a stitched topology.
