DISTRIBUTED DEPLOYMENT BASED ON RATING VALUES

摘要

A first deployment node connectable to a plurality of neighboring deployment nodes of a distributed deployment network for distributed deployment of a software application separable into a plurality of executable software modules is disclosed. The first deployment node comprises a hardware arrangement, a deployment operating system, and a deployment node interface. The deployment node interface is adapted to establish a connection between the first deployment node and the plurality of neighboring deployment nodes. The hardware arrangement is adapted to keep (for each of the neighboring deployment nodes) a node rating value associated with the neighboring deployment node and at least one group rating value associated with a group of deployment nodes comprising the neighboring deployment node. The deployment operating system is adapted to transfer a first executable software module for deployment from the first deployment node to a neighboring deployment node selected among the neighboring deployment nodes based on the node rating values and the group rating values of the neighboring deployment nodes. The deployment operating system is also adapted to perform an assessment of the deployment of the first executable software module at the selected neighboring deployment node, update the node rating value and the group rating value associated with the selected neighboring deployment node based on the assessment and transmit the updated node rating value and the updated group rating value associated with the selected neighboring deployment node to the plurality of neighboring deployment nodes.
