Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to providing, via a graphical user interface, a set of user-selectable resources available for defining a resource architecture for an application in development; receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of a first resource for the application; receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of a second resource for the application; functionally connecting the first resource with the second resource, wherein the first resource, the second resource, and the logical relationship between the first resource and the second resource define the resource architecture for the application; verifying the resource architecture, wherein verifying the resource architecture comprises communicating over a network with the first resource and with the second resource and verifying that the first resource can communicate over a network with the second resource; and providing a graphical indication of a result of the verification of the resource architecture.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

providing, via a graphical user interface, a set of user-selectable resources available for defining a resource architecture for an application in development;
receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of a first resource for the application;
receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of a second resource for the application;
functionally connecting the first resource with the second resource, wherein the first resource, the second resource, and the logical relationship between the first resource and the second resource define the resource architecture for the application;
verifying the resource architecture, wherein verifying the resource architecture comprises communicating over a network with the first resource and with the second resource and verifying that the first resource can communicate over a network with the second resource;
and
providing a graphical indication of a result of the verification of the resource architecture;
the method further comprising:
providing a graphical representation of a deployment stage for the application;
and
displaying the resource architecture for the application with the deployment stage;
wherein displaying the resource architecture comprises displaying a first resource architecture comprising the selected resource within a first server context at a first deployment stage, the method further comprising:
receiving an instruction to move the first resource architecture to a second deployment stage different from the first deployment stage;
receiving an instruction to associate the resource to a second server context, different from the first server context;
defining a second resource architecture that comprises the resource associated with the second server context;
and
associating the second resource architecture with the second deployment stage.

14 more elements

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:

computer readable program code configured to provide a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprises a set of user selectable resources and a canvas onto which a user can drag and drop resources to indicate a selection of a resource for defining a deployment environment;
computer readable program code configured to receive, via the graphical user interface, a drag-and-drop command for selecting of a first resource for the application, wherein the drag-and-drop command comprises a user dragging and dropping a graphical representation of the first resource onto a canvas area of the graphical user interface;
computer readable program code configured to receiving, via the graphical user interface, a drag-and-drop command for selecting of a second resource for the application, wherein the drag-and-drop command comprises a user dragging and dropping a graphical representation of the second resource onto a canvas area of the graphical user interface;
computer readable program code configured to receive an indication of a functional connection between the first resource and the second resource, wherein the first resource, the second resource, and the function connection between the first resource and the second resource define the resource architecture for the application;
computer readable program code configured to verify the resource architecture, wherein verifying the resource architecture comprises communicating over a network with the first resource and with the second resource and verifying that the first resource can communicate over a network with the second resource;
and
computer readable program code configured to providing a graphical indication of a result of the verification of the resource architecture.
