DEPLOYMENT OF SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS ON A CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method to deploy a software application on a cloud computing platform providing a platform product, the method comprising:
- analyzing application artifacts for the software application to create application metadata describing application artifacts requirements;
publishing the application artifacts and the application metadata onto an application repository;
creating a product description defining an application product for the software application to be deployed on the cloud computing platform;
creating a product reference to specify the platform product, wherein the platform product satisfies the application artifacts requirements;
publishing the product description and the product reference onto the application repository to update the application metadata with reference to the application product and the platform product;
creating a composite repository in the application repository, the composite repository comprising composite metadata to refer to the application repository and the platform product; and
transferring the application repository to a platform repository provided by the cloud computing platform.

Abstract
In one aspect, a software application with application artifacts is deployed on a cloud computing platform. The cloud computing platform includes a platform product that can provide functionality that is required by the application. Application metadata is created based on analyzing the application artifacts and describes the application artifacts requirement. An application repository stores the application artifacts and the application metadata. A product description defines an application product for the software application and a product reference to the platform product is defined. The product description and the product reference are published in the application repository to update the application metadata. A composite repository refers to the application product and the platform product. The composite repository is transferred to a platform repository provided by the cloud computing platform.
