SYSTEM TO GENERATE A DEPLOYMENT PLAN FOR A CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE ACCORDING TO LOGICAL, MULTI-TIER APPLICATION BLUEPRINT
First Claim
1. A method of managing deployment of an application in a cloud environment having virtual computing resources, the method comprising:
- determining tasks to be executed for deploying application components on the virtual computing resources for supporting execution of the application; and
generating a deployment plan for executing the tasks in an order specified according to a topology of the virtual computing resources, the application components, and one or more dependencies between application components.

Abstract
A deployment system enables a developer to generate a deployment plan according to a logical, multi-tier application blueprint defined by application architects. The deployment plan includes tasks to be executed for deploying application components on virtual computing resource provided in a cloud infrastructure. The deployment plan includes time dependencies that determine an execution order of the tasks according to dependencies between application components specified in the application blueprint. The deployment plan enables system administrators to view the application blueprint as an ordered workflow view that facilitates collaboration between system administrators and application architects.
