1. A method for managing a cloud computing environment, the method comprising:
- sending, by a computer system to one or more computing resources of the cloud computing environment and based on provisioning information that defines, at least in part, a logical organization of tiers within the cloud computing environment, a cloud environment initialization event, the initialization event causing a cloud environment configuration of the tiers within the cloud computing environment to be made available to a software application, wherein the cloud environment configuration comprises an initialization event data-dependent configuration of the cloud computing environment for execution of the software application;
subsequently sending, by the computer system, software application data to the cloud computing environment, which, upon receipt, causes the software application to begin execution in the organized tiers of the cloud environment configuration of the cloud computing environment;
monitoring data received from the cloud computing environment; and
based on monitored data from the cloud computing environment, sending, by the computer system, a cloud environment adjustment event to the cloud computing environment to cause adjustment of the cloud environment configuration by increasing, decreasing, or changing those of the computing resources assigned to the cloud environment configuration, said cloud environment adjustment event including one or more software objects that contain information related to provisioning of the computing resources of the cloud computing environment for the cloud environment configuration, wherein the adjustment of the cloud environment configuration depends on information included in the cloud environment adjustment event.

13. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a storage device communicatively coupled to the processor; and a set of instructions on the storage device that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; send, by a computer system to one or more computing resources of the cloud computing environment and based on provisioning information that defines, at least in part, a logical organization of tiers within the cloud computing environment, a cloud environment initialization event, the initialization event causing a cloud environment configuration of the tiers within the cloud computing environment to be made available to a software application, wherein the cloud environment configuration comprises an initialization event data-dependent configuration of the cloud computing environment for execution of the software application; subsequently send, by the computer system, software application data to the cloud computing environment, which, upon receipt, causes the software application to begin execution in the organized tiers of the cloud environment configuration of the cloud computing environment; monitor data received from the cloud computing environment; and based on monitored data from the cloud computing environment, send, by the computer system, a cloud environment adjustment event to the cloud computing environment to cause adjustment of the cloud environment configuration by increasing, decreasing, or changing those of the computing resources assigned to the cloud environment configuration, said cloud environment adjustment event including one or more software objects that contain information related to provisioning of the computing resources of the cloud computing environment for the cloud environment configuration, wherein the adjustment of the cloud environment configuration depends on information included in the cloud environment adjustment event. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
