    graphically displaying a plurality of undeployed services;

    receiving, by a processor executing a system manager, a selection of an undeployed service of the plurality of undeployed services;

    determining a deployment criterion of the selected undeployed service and graphically indicating one or more available components of the plurality of available components that satisfy the deployment criterion;

    receiving a selection of an available component from the one or more available components that satisfy the deployment criterion;

    determining, by the processor, without user input, whether the selected undeployed service depends on any additional services that have not been deployed to the selected available component;

    in response to determining that the selected undeployed service depends on an additional service that has not been deployed to the selected available component, deploying the additional service to the selected available component; and
