Abstract
Disclosed aspects include managing asset deployment for a shared pool of configurable computing resources having a set of virtual machines associated with a deployment server. A set of deployment topology data is collected for the shared pool of configurable computing resources. Using the set of deployment topology data, it is determined to establish a dynamic management server communicatively connected with both the deployment server and the set of virtual machines. Based on the set of deployment topology data, the dynamic management server is established communicatively connected with both the deployment server and the set of virtual machines.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method of managing asset deployment for a shared pool of configurable computing resources having a set of virtual machines associated with a deployment server, the method comprising:
- collecting a set of deployment topology data for the shared pool of configurable computing resources, wherein the shared pool of configurable computing resources includes a hybrid computing environment and the set of virtual machines includes both a set of on-premises virtual machines and a set of off-premises virtual machines;
- analyzing the set of deployment topology data, wherein the set of deployment topology data includes a set of historical installation data;
- determining, based on the set of historical installation data, to establish the dynamic management server;
- establishing, based on the set of historical installation data, the dynamic management server, wherein the dynamic management server is established off-premises and coordinates asset deployment to at least a subset of the set of off-premises virtual machines;
- and
- coordinating, by the dynamic management server, asset deployment to at least the subset of the set of off-premises virtual machines.

- coordinating, by the dynamic management server, asset deployment to at least the subset of the set of off-premises virtual machines.
- determining, using the set of deployment topology data, to remove the dynamic management server communicatively connected with both the deployment server and the set of virtual machines;
- and
- removing, based on the set of deployment topology data, the dynamic management server communicatively connected with both the deployment server and the set of virtual machines.

- analyzing the set of deployment topology data, wherein the set of deployment topology data includes a record of dynamic management servers;
- determining, based on the record of dynamic management servers, to establish the dynamic management server;
- establishing, based on the record of dynamic management servers, the dynamic management server, wherein the dynamic management server is established off-premises and coordinates asset deployment to at least a subset of off-premises virtual machines;
- and
- coordinating, by the dynamic management server, asset deployment to at least the subset of the set of off-premises virtual machines.
