Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising identifying a set of attributes of an application specified in a request to deploy the application in a cloud computing environment, determining a set of dependencies for the application, selecting a first virtual machine format, of a plurality of virtual machine formats, based on the set of attributes and set of dependencies, and deploying the application in a first virtual machine of the first virtual machine format on a host in the cloud computing environment.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- identifying a set of attributes of an application specified in a request to deploy the application in a cloud computing environment, wherein the set of attributes of the application comprise:
- (i) a target operating system the application is compiled to execute in, (ii) a level of support for each of a plurality of versions of the application, and (iii) a restriction against using at least one of the plurality of versions of the application in the cloud computing environment;
- identifying historical data reflecting a plurality of past deployments of the application in the cloud computing environment;
- determining a set of dependencies for the application;
- selecting a first virtual machine format, of a plurality of virtual machine formats, based on the set of attributes, the historical data, and the set of dependencies;
- and
- deploying the application in a first virtual machine of the first virtual machine format executing the target operating system on a host in the cloud computing environment.

A system, comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- and
- a memory containing a program which when executed by the processors performs an operation comprising:
- identifying a set of attributes of an application specified in a request to deploy the application in a cloud computing environment, wherein the set of attributes of the application comprise:
- (i) a target operating system the application is compiled to execute in, (ii) a level of support for each of a plurality of versions of the application, and (iii) a restriction against using at least one of the plurality of versions of the application in the cloud computing environment;
- identifying historical data reflecting a plurality of past deployments of the application in the cloud computing environment;
- determining a set of dependencies for the application;
- selecting a first virtual machine format, of a plurality of virtual machine formats, based on the set of attributes, the historical data, and the set of dependencies;
- and
- deploying the application in a first virtual machine of the first virtual machine format executing the target operating system on a host in the cloud computing environment.
7 more elements
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation comprising:
- identifying a set of attributes of an application specified in a request to deploy the application in a cloud computing environment, wherein the set of attributes of the application comprise:
- (i) a target operating system the application is compiled to execute in, (ii) a level of support for each of a plurality of versions of the application, and (iii) a restriction against using at least one of the plurality of versions of the application in the cloud computing environment;
- identifying historical data reflecting a plurality of past deployments of the application in the cloud computing environment;
- determining a set of dependencies for the application;
- selecting a first virtual machine format, of a plurality of virtual machine formats, based on the set of attributes, the historical data, and the set of dependencies;
- and
- deploying the application in a first virtual machine of the first virtual machine format executing the target operating system on a host in the cloud computing environment.
