1. A computer-implemented method comprising causing a computer to execute executable program instructions to perform steps of:

  • receiving information, from a sending computer, comprising a landscape definition which identifies a plurality of servers and dependencies between at least some of the servers, the landscape definition received being selected from among a plurality of landscape definitions; and

    for each server specified in the landscape definition received;

    retrieving a server image from a repository of previously stored server images, the server image being identified based on information in the landscape definition associated with said each server; and

    instantiating said each server on the cloud computing system including causing the retrieved server image to execute on the cloud computing system,wherein the sending computer performs steps of;

    generating a landscape instance;

    receiving a landscape command directed to the landscape instance;

    mapping the landscape command to a plurality of server commands corresponding to the plurality of servers in the landscape definition; and

    executing the server commands on the plurality of servers on the cloud computing system.
