Two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code templates and instances

A system for two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• detecting, by a run-time monitor, changes to a run-time state of a system;
• in response to detecting a change, triggering an update of a current run-time state model;
• in response to updating the run-time state model, comparing the updated model to a current model using a template in a local repository instantiated as the current model;
• in response to the comparison determining a structural difference between the updated model and the current model:
• merging the updated model and the current model into a new model;
• updating a local clone of a repository of the template with the new model;
• in response to the comparison determining no structural difference between the updated model and the current model, pushing changes to a remote repository.

A computer program product for two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising:

• detecting, by a run-time monitor, changes to a run-time state of a system;
• in response to detecting a change, triggering an update of a current run-time state model;
• in response to updating the run-time state model, comparing the updated model to a current model using a template in a local repository instantiated as the current model;
• in response to the comparison determining a structural difference between the updated model and the current model:
• merging the updated model and the current model into a new model;
• updating a local clone of a repository of the template with the new model;
• in response to the comparison determining no structural difference between the updated model and the current model, pushing changes to a remote repository.
