APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR CLOUD AGNOSTIC MULTI-TIER APPLICATION MODELING AND DEPLOYMENT

摘要

Embodiments disclosed facilitate obtaining a cloud agnostic representation of a multi-tier application. Cloud specific implementations of the cloud agnostic representation may be deployed on a plurality of clouds. In some embodiments, dependency information for each component service in a multi-tier application is obtained, wherein the dependency information for a component service indicates prerequisites for starting the component service; and a cloud agnostic representation of the multi-tier application is derived, wherein the cloud agnostic representation of the multi-tier application comprises metadata for obtaining each of the component services for a plurality of clouds, and a sequence for starting each of the component services, the sequence based, in part, on the dependency information.

1. A processor-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, for a multi-tier application comprising a plurality of components, dependency information for each component in the plurality, wherein the dependency information for a component comprises information indicating prerequisites for starting the component; and deriving a cloud agnostic representation of the multi-tier application, wherein the cloud agnostic representation of the multi-tier application comprises metadata for: obtaining each of the plurality of components for a plurality of clouds, and starting each of the components, wherein each component in the plurality of components is started based on a starting sequence derived, in part, from the dependency information.
