SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A SELF SERVICE PORTAL AND AUTOMATION FOR INTERNALLY HOSTED VIRTUAL SERVER RESOURCES

摘要

A method and apparatus may provision a new computer code file as an update or a new application for end nodes of a cloud computing system. The method and apparatus may receive a computer code file at a repository server via a portal interface to an automation service. The computer code file may include a discrete file or package of files corresponding to a complete application or an update for an application for execution on cloud computing system nodes. The method and apparatus may also receive provisioning conditions at the automation service via the portal interface, send the computer code file to the cloud computing system end nodes based on the received provisioning conditions, and cause the sent computer code file to be installed on each of the plurality of cloud computing system end nodes.

1. A computer-implemented method for provisioning computer code in a cloud computing system, the method comprising:
receiving a computer code file at a repository server via a portal interface to an automation service, wherein the computer code file includes a discrete file or package of files corresponding to a complete application or an update for the application for execution on a plurality of cloud computing system nodes; automatically building a metabase of metadata from a plurality of sources during a provisioning process, the metadata based on the received computer code file, the metadata describing one or more of a data dependency, a flow dependency, an output dependency, or a control dependency of the received computer code file; receiving one or more provisioning conditions at the automation service via the portal interface; sending the computer code file to a plurality of cloud computing system end nodes based on the received provisioning conditions and the metabase metadata; and causing the sent computer code file to be installed on each of the plurality of cloud computing system end nodes.
