<p>Methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses support the design and building of an information technology infrastructure. Build information may be extracted from an architecture diagram so that an automation engine can build and configure the infrastructure solution. The architecture diagram contains custom property lists that are associated with corresponding infrastructure components. Build data is then generated from the architecture diagram so that the automation engine can build a specified information technology infrastructure. The architecture diagram may represent each infrastructure component with an icon that is selected from a collection of icons, where each icon has a custom property template. Configuration data is populated in entries of the custom property template in accordance with the associated infrastructure component. Build data may be verified by determining whether different custom property lists in an architecture diagram are consistent and may be passed to the automation engine only when an approval indication is received.</p> |
