Abstract
There is provided a data structure for re-configuration of an application hosted in a cloud computing environment. The data structure comprises a software template for use in a software scheme. The software template describes a flow of actions executable by a cloud management unit in the cloud computing environment for re-configuration of an application hosted by the management unit and executable by the management unit using the software scheme. The software template comprises software instructions comprising a first portion of software instructions non-editable by a programming interface unit of the hosted application. The software template allows for a second portion of software instructions to be added to the software template by the programming interface unit of the hosted application. Methods and devices for re-configuration using the data structure are also provided.
