Abstract

Some embodiments are directed to a collaborative platform for managing the life cycle of a cloud application, the collaborative platform including means configured to define, in the form of code, a plurality of requirements of the cloud application, in terms of cloud infrastructures.

Claims

1. A collaborative platform (10) for managing the life cycle of a Cloud application, comprising:

means configured for defining, in the form of code, a plurality of requirements, in terms of Cloud infrastructure, of the Cloud application.

2. The collaborative platform according to claim 1, further configured for integrating a development functionality in order to supply the Cloud application with functionalities.

3. The collaborative platform according to claim 1, in which the definition of the said plurality of requirements is carried out in a TOSCA format.

4. A method for managing the life cycle of a Cloud application, the method comprising:

defining, in the form of code, a plurality of requirements, in terms of Cloud infrastructure, of the Cloud application, and

receiving by a collaborative platform the definition, in the form of code, of the plurality of requirements.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the definition of the plurality of requirements is implemented in a TOSCA format.

6. A computer program product stored on a memory media, able to be implemented within a data processing unit and including instructions for the implementation of the method according to claim 4.

7. A computer program product stored on a memory media, able to be implemented within a data processing unit and including instructions for the implementation of the method according to claim 5.
