Managing a deployment of a computing architecture
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium including executable instructions which, when executed, manage aspects of a computing environment by:
- receiving a dispatch command associated with a deployment of a number of computing devices;
receiving an indication associated with the selection of a deployment file to be used in conjunction with the deployment of the number of computing devices, wherein the deployment file includes a number of deployment parameters and associated deployment functions for use in the deployment of the number of computing devices; and
,deploying the number of computing devices including using the number of deployment functions to deploy the number of computing devices to include the number of deployment parameters as defined by the deployment file.

Abstract
Embodiments are provided to deploy a number of computing devices based in part on a deployment file, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, a dispatch application can be used to deploy a number of computing devices, wherein the deployment includes a number deployment parameters and functions associated with a configuration of the number of computing devices. The dispatch application can be used to deploy a number of computing devices, including virtual devices, logical devices, and other devices and systems. Other embodiments are available.
