Scalable Services Deployment

摘要

Embodiments provide an abstraction on top of virtual machine allocation APIs to expose scalable services. The services are higher level components that expose a particular set of functionalities. A deployment manager handles matching and managing virtual machine allocations in order to meet the customer demands for the managed services. A deployment service exposes a “service” as a unit of resource allocation in a distributed computing environment or cloud computing service. Client components interact with the deployment service to request new service instances to meet customer demand.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a service package on a distributed computing service, the service package comprising a virtual machine image capable of being deployed on the distributed computing service; allocating a package instance to a virtual machine on the distributed computing service, the package instance representing an instance of the service package; and creating a service instance in response to a user requesting access to a service described in the service package, the service instance associated with the package instance allocated to the virtual machine.
