System and method for providing a physical plugin for use in a cloud platform environment

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for simulating a cloud environment on a physical platform. In an embodiment, a physical assembly is provided within a cloud environment and a physical plug-in configured to provide a virtual assembly builder-like environment on a physical platform. The physical assembly is an installable software suite including software configured to support provisioning of applications for providing services. The physical plug-in is configured to enable installation of the physical assembly on the physical platform. The physical plug-in is also configured to enable support for administering the services of the cloud platform component via the software installed from the physical assembly.

1. A system for simulating a cloud environment on a physical computing platform, comprising:
one or more computers providing a virtualized computing platform including a cloud environment executing thereon; a service definition package that includes a configuration information that defines a type of service offered by the cloud environment; an assembly component provided within the cloud environment as an installable software suite, wherein the assembly component includes software configured to support provisioning of applications for providing the service; and a plug-in configured to
provide a virtual assembly builder environment on a physical computing platform comprising a physical computing machine,enable installment of the assembly component on the physical computing platform, andenable support for administering the assembly component and simulating the cloud environment and the service on the physical computing platform, including that the plug-in
receives the assembly component from the cloud environment, and determines a deployment information for the assembly component based on the configuration information provided by the service definition package,stores the deployment information associated with the assembly component received from the cloud environment, in a local repository associated with the plug-in, andsimulates the administering of the service, by deploying and running processes within a lifecycle of the service directly on the physical computing platform.
