MODEL BASED ENFORCEMENT OF SOFTWARE COMPLIANCE

摘要

A method for enforcing a model deployment specification for a software application in execution in a virtualised computing environment, the method comprising: retrieving a compliance characteristic for the application, the compliance characteristic having associated a compliance criterion; receiving a model deployment specification for the compliance characteristic, the model deployment specification including an identification of a set of model resources being selected to, when instantiated, satisfy the compliance criterion; identifying a set of instantiated resources as resources instantiated for execution of the application; in response to a determination that the set of model resources includes absent resources as resources outside the set of instantiated resources, modifying the set of instantiated resources by instantiating the absent resources for execution of the application such that the absent resources are included in the set of instantiated resources.
