METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MODELING AND ANALYZING COMPUTING RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS OF SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS IN A SHARED AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An application manager receives or defines a service specification for a first application that defines a set of required computing resources that are necessary to run each application component of the first application. A resource supply manager in communication with the application manager manages a plurality of computing resources in a shared computing environment. The application manager is operable to request the set of required computing resources from the computing resource supply manager, and wherein the resource supply manager determines the availability of the required computing resources within the shared computing environment according to resource allocation policies and allocates computing resources to the application manager, and wherein the application manager is operable manage allocation of the computing resources to the first application, the application manager operable to create and manage deployment of instances of each application component of the first application on the allocated computing resources.
