Deploying an application across multiple deployment environments

An apparatus to configure an application for deployment, the apparatus comprising:

• a graphical user interface to display a user-selectable control in a user interface, the user-selectable control corresponding to a variable, the variable settable to a true state and a false state based on corresponding ones of a selected state and an unselected state of the user-selectable control, the true and false states of the variable to distinguish between whether different components of the application are to be deployed in a same cloud and whether the different components of the application are to be deployed in separate clouds;
• and
• a deployment profile generator implemented in a circuit to:
• when the variable corresponding to the user-selectable control indicates that the different components of the application are to be deployed in the separate clouds, bind, in an application deployment profile, a first one of the different components to a first cloud and a second one of the different components to a second cloud;
• and
• when the variable corresponding to the user-selectable control indicates that the different components of the application are to be deployed in the same cloud, bind, in the application deployment profile, the different components of the application to the same cloud.

A tangible computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to at least:

• display a user-selectable control in a user interface;
• initialize a variable corresponding to the user-selectable control, the variable settable to a true state and a false state based on corresponding ones of a selected state and an unselected state of the user-selectable control, the true and false states of the variable to distinguish between whether different components of the application are to be deployed in a same cloud and whether the different components of the application are to be deployed in separate clouds;
• when the variable corresponding to the user-selectable control indicates that the different components of the application are to be deployed in the separate clouds, bind, in an application deployment profile, a first one of the different components to a first cloud and a second one of the different components to a second cloud;
• and
• when the variable corresponding to the user-selectable control indicates that the different components of the application are to be deployed in the same cloud, bind, in the application deployment profile, the different components of the application to the same cloud.
