Topology based interoperability determination for information technology infrastructure

A system comprising:

• a memory having computer readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a replacement notification for an element of an information technology (IT) infrastructure;
• generating, based on a topology graph of the IT infrastructure, a topology subgraph corresponding to the element;
• determining a plurality of replacement candidates for the element;
• generating, for each replacement candidate of the plurality of replacement candidates, a respective interoperability subgraph based on the topology subgraph;
• and
• selecting a recommended replacement candidate from the plurality of replacement candidates based on the generated interoperability subgraphs.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a replacement notification for an element of an information technology (IT) infrastructure;
• generating, based on a topology graph of the IT infrastructure, a topology subgraph corresponding to the element;
• determining a plurality of replacement candidates for the element;
• generating, for each replacement candidate of the plurality of replacement candidates, a respective interoperability subgraph based on the topology subgraph;
• and
• selecting a recommended replacement candidate from the plurality of replacement candidates based on the generated interoperability subgraphs.
