1. A computer-implemented method of using a software logistics protocol, the method comprising:
- initiating, using the software logistics protocol, a software logistics process, the software logistics protocol being a common application programming interface (API) for controlling and managing the life cycle and operation of a plurality of different software logistics processes;
monitoring, using the software logistics protocol, the progress of execution of the software logistics process;
providing an abstract data model to a target computing system, the abstract data model describing a structure of one or more resources associated with the software logistics protocol;
based on the abstract data model, providing a single entry point to the target computing system to monitor the progress of the execution of the software logistics process; and
gathering, using the software logistics protocol, output information from the software logistics process after the software logistics process finishes executing.
