Implementations of complex software solutions are accompanied with an intrinsic conflict between requirements, such as an ever-growing complexity of enterprise software solutions versus a demand for more and more shortened implementation cycles. Various embodiments include at least one of systems methods and software to address such conflicts. One method embodiment includes receiving a request to assemble a virtual appliance from at least one deployment template, the request including characteristic data representative of at least one virtual appliance functional and deployment requirement. In response to the received request, such embodiments may query a template warehouse to identify and deployment templates from a template warehouse to a data storage device to form a virtual appliance. The virtual appliance may then be packaged into a transport data structure and stored. The transport data structure may then be transported by various means to a target virtual machine and deployed therein. |
