Automatically generating configuration images and deploying computer components in a computing environment that comprises a shared pool of configurable computing resources
First Claim
1. A method of generating configuration images and deploying computer components in a computing environment that comprises a shared pool of configurable computing resources, comprising:
- classifying by one or more of the hardware processors configuration templates into classes of different service configurations, the configuration templates comprising executable commands that configure computer hardware and software resources on the computing environment;
creating base templates representing the different service configurations based on the configuration templates classified into classes of different service configurations;
receiving a deployment request with specified requirements for deploying computer resources for a requested service on the shared pool of configurable computing resources;
searching the configuration templates for configurations that meet the specified requirements for the requested service;
creating a plurality of candidate templates based on the base templates that represent configurations for the requested service and the configurations that meet the specified requirements;
selecting a target template from the plurality of candidate templates that most meets the specified requirements; and
deploying the computer resources for the requested service by executing the target template.

Abstract
Generating configuration images and deploying computer components in a computing environment that comprises a shared pool of configurable computing resources may be provided. Configuration templates from a plurality of repositories may be mined and classified. Base templates may be created that represent different service configurations based on the configuration templates classified into classes of different service configurations. For deploying a requested service with specified requirements, a plurality of candidate templates may be created based on the base templates that represent configurations for the requested service and configurations that meet the specified requirements. A target template from the plurality of candidate templates may be selected that most meets the specified requirements. Computer resources for the requested service may be deployed by running the target template.
