Model-based virtual system provisioning
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- accessing a model of a workload to be installed on a virtual machine of a system, wherein the model of the workload includes constraint information associated with the workload;
accessing a model of the system, wherein the model of the system includes constraint information associated with of the system;
performing a logical deployment evaluation by comparing the constraint information associated with the workload to the constraint information associated with the system to determine whether the workload could be installed in the system;
generating a workload installation specification, the workload installation specification being derived at least in part from the model of the workload and the model of the system.

Abstract
Model-based virtual system provisioning includes accessing a model of a workload to be installed on a virtual machine of a system as well as a model of the system. A workload refers to some computing that is to be performed, and includes an application to be executed to perform the computing, and optionally includes the operating system on which the application is to be installed. The workload model identifies a source of the application and operating system of the workload, as well as constraints of the workload, such as resources and/or other capabilities that the virtual machine(s) on which the workload is to be installed must have. An installation specification for the application is also generated, the installation specification being derived at least in part from the model of the workload and the model of the virtual system.
