Providing a set of application slices within an application environment

Electronic circuitry, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• control circuitry coupled to the memory, the memory storing instructions which, when carried out by the control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to perform a method of:
• identifying a group of cluster resources from a plurality of cluster resources of an application environment, the plurality of cluster resources being constructed and arranged to provide a plurality of services,
• forming an application slice having the group of cluster resources, and
• deploying the application slice to provide services.

A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium which stores a set of instructions to manage cluster resources within an application environment;

• the set of instructions, when carried out by computerized circuitry, causing the computerized circuitry to perform a method of:
• identifying a group of cluster resources from a plurality of cluster resources of the application environment, the plurality of cluster resources being constructed and arranged to provide a plurality of services;
• forming an application slice having the group of cluster resources;
• and
• deploying the application slice to provide services.
