VERSION MANAGEMENT FOR APPLICATIONS

摘要

A system (100) includes an application model (140) to characterize a given application (110) for deployment on a cloud (130). A deployment manager (120) analyzes an application requirement for the given application (110) based on the application model (140) and policies (150) associated with the given application (110) to substantially match infrastructure resources (160) in the cloud (130) to fulfill the application requirement. A versioning manager (164) tracks changes in the given application (110) during a service lifecycle of the given application (110) and updates the application model (140) or the policies (150) in accordance with the changes.
