Capability orchestration in a cloud-native environment

A system for capability orchestration in a cloud-native environment, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to at least one of the one or more processors;
• a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, perform actions of:
• generating one or more new combined capability definitions, based on existing capability definitions and a combined capability manifest, to form a hierarchy of capability definitions including the one or more new combined capability definitions and the existing capability definitions;
• receiving a capability request directed to one or more capabilities, wherein the one or more capabilities correspond to one or more capability definitions in the hierarchy of capability definitions;
• determining the one or more capability definitions corresponding to the one or more capabilities from the hierarchy of capability definitions based on the capability request;
• deriving deployable resources based on the determined one or more capability definitions;
• and
• generating the one or more capabilities based on the derived deployable resources.

A computer program product for capability orchestration in a cloud-native environment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• generate one or more new combined capability definitions, based on existing capability definitions and a combined capability manifest, to form a hierarchy of capability definitions including the one or more new combined capability definitions and the existing capability definitions;
• receive a capability request directed to one or more capabilities, wherein the one or more capabilities correspond to one or more capability definitions in the hierarchy of capability definitions;
• determine the one or more capability definitions corresponding to the one or more capabilities from the hierarchy of capability definitions based on the capability request;
• derive deployable resources based on the determined one or more capability definitions;
• and
• generate the one or more capabilities based on the derived deployable resources.
