Light-weight cloud application platform

A system, comprising:

• a data processing apparatus;
• and
• a memory storage apparatus in data communication with the data processing apparatus, the memory storage apparatus storing instructions executable by the data processing apparatus and that upon such execution cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• providing a deployment tool configured to deploy a light-weight cloud application platform in an execution environment in response to a user command that specifies the execution environment, and to create one or more instances of a cloud application executing on the light-weight cloud application platform in response to a user command that specifies a container image that includes the cloud application;
• receiving, by the deployment tool, a first user command that specifies the execution environment;
• in response to receiving the first user command, deploying, by the deployment tool, a plurality of components of the light-weight cloud application platform, including:
• a scheduling subsystem comprising:
• a plurality of execution engines, each execution engine being installed on a particular computing instance of the execution environment;
• one or more executors, each executor being operable to receive a recipe comprising one or more platform independent, resource agnostic commands, each command corresponding to a requested service to be performed by one or the execution engines in the execution environment, and
• a routing subsystem that is operable to maintain a routing table for routing requests to individual instances of the cloud application;
• receiving, by the deployment tool, a second user command that specifies a location of the container image that includes the cloud application;
• in response to receiving the second user command, deploying a plurality of instances of the cloud application without receiving further user commands, including:
• providing a request to the scheduling system to schedule execution of one or more instances of the cloud application, and
• providing a request to the routing subsystem to register the plurality of instances of the cloud application.

A computer program product, encoded on one or more non-transitory computer storage media, comprising instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• providing a deployment tool configured to deploy a light-weight cloud application platform in an execution environment in response to a user command that specifies the execution environment, and to create one or more instances of a cloud application executing on the light-weight cloud application platform in response to a user command that specifies a container image that includes the cloud application;
• receiving, by the deployment tool, a first user command that specifies the execution environment;
• in response to receiving the first user command, deploying, by the deployment tool, a plurality of components of the light-weight cloud application platform, including:
• a scheduling subsystem comprising:
• a plurality of execution engines, each execution engine being installed on a particular computing instance of the execution environment;
• one or more executors, each executor being operable to receive a recipe comprising one or more platform independent, resource agnostic commands, each command corresponding to a requested service to be performed by one or the execution engines in the execution environment, and
• a routing subsystem that is operable to maintain a routing table for routing requests to individual instances of the cloud application;
• receiving, by the deployment tool, a second user command that specifies a location of the container image that includes the cloud application;
• in response to receiving the second user command, deploying a plurality of instances of the cloud application without receiving further user commands, including:
• providing a request to the scheduling system to schedule execution of one or more instances of the cloud application, and
• providing a request to the routing subsystem to register the plurality of instances of the cloud application.
