AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT AND SECURITIZATION OF MODEL-BASED COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS

摘要

A computer implemented method of deploying a software application in a virtualised computing environment, the method comprising: receiving a description of the software application including an identification of a set of one or more application software resources; determining one or more types of security facility required for the set of application software resources and determining a security requirement for each of the determined types of security facility; selecting a security software resource for each of the determined types of security facility; determining a security configuration for each of the selected security software resources, the security configuration being based on a security requirement associated with a type of security facility for the security software resource; and generating a deployment specification for the software application specifying the application software resources and the security software resources for deployment of the application in the virtualised computing environment, each of the security software resources having associated the determined security configuration.
