System and method for application discovery in a computing environment

摘要

A system and method for application discovery in a computing environment. In one embodiment, a system may include a plurality of applications configured to operate in a distributed computing environment, where the distributed computing environment may include multiple computing platforms, and an application discovery manager configured to detect the presence of the plurality of applications. In one specific implementation of the system, the application discovery manager may be further configured to identify individual components of a given application subsequent to detecting the presence of the given application. In another specific implementation of the system, the application discovery manager may be further configured to identify a dependency of a given application on one or more other applications subsequent to detecting the presence of the given application.
