1. A method comprising:
- deploying, using a computer system, a first version of a composite template including a container template and a workload template to a first computer system so as tocreate plural containers within said computer system,deploy said container template so as to configure a first container of said plural containers, anddeploy said workload template so as to install and configure a first workload in said first container; and
deploying a second version of said composite template to a second computer system separate from said first computer system, said second version being the same as said first version or being obtained by modifying said first version.

7. A system comprising non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage media encoded with code configured to, when executed by a processor,
create a first version of a composite template so that it includes a first container template and a first workload template; -
modify said first version to yield a second version of said composite template including a second container template and a second workload template; and deploy said first and second versions to respective first and second computer systems so as to, for each of said first and second computer systems, create plural containers within the respective computer system, deploy the respective container template so as to configure a respective first container of the respective plural containers, and deploy the respective workload template so as to install and configure a respective workload in said respective first container. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
