Abstract

In an aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a provisioning component, a first selection of one or more infrastructure parameters; receiving, at the provisioning component, a second selection of one or more platform parameters; receiving, at the provisioning component, a third selection of one or more application parameters; accessing metadata based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection; and providing, by the provisioning component, information to provision a cloud computing system, the information based on the accessed metadata and one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Claims (43)

1 . A machine-readable storage medium including code which when executed by a machine provides operations comprising:

receiving, at a provisioning component, a first selection of one or more infrastructure parameters;

receiving, at the provisioning component, a second selection of one or more platform parameters;

receiving, at the provisioning component, a third selection of one or more application parameters;

accessing metadata based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection; and

providing, by the provisioning component, information to provision a cloud computing system, the information based on the accessed metadata and one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection.

2 . The machine-readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system.

3 . The machine-readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to one or more of infrastructure parameters, platform parameters, and application parameters.

4 . The machine-readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to interdependencies among one or more of the infrastructure parameters, the platform parameters, and the application parameters.

5 . The machine-readable storage of claim 1 further comprising:

modifying, based on the metadata, one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection, the metadata including information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to interdependencies among one or more of the infrastructure parameters, the platform parameters, and the application parameters.

6 . The machine-readable storage of claim 1 further comprising:

providing a user interface to enable a user to select the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection.

7 . The machine-readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is stored at a database separate from the provisioning component.

8 . A method comprising:

receiving, at a provisioning component, a first selection of one or more infrastructure parameters;

receiving, at the provisioning component, a second selection of one or more platform parameters;

receiving, at the provisioning component, a third selection of one or more application parameters;

accessing metadata based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection; and

providing, by the provisioning component, information to provision a cloud computing system, the information based on the accessed metadata and one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection, wherein the provisioning component is implemented on at least one processor.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to one or more of infrastructure parameters, platform parameters, and application parameters.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to interdependencies among one or more of the infrastructure parameters, the platform parameters, and the application parameters.

12 . The method of claim 8 further comprising:

modifying, based on the metadata, one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection, the metadata including information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to interdependencies among one or more of the infrastructure parameters, the platform parameters, and the application parameters.

13 . The method of claim 8 further comprising:

providing a user interface to enable a user to select the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the metadata is stored at a database separate from the provisioning component.

15 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor and the at least one memory including code configure the system to provide operations comprising:

receiving, at a provisioning component, a first selection of one or more infrastructure parameters;

receiving, at the provisioning component, a second selection of one or more platform parameters;

receiving, at the provisioning component, a third selection of one or more application parameters;

accessing metadata based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection; and

providing, by the provisioning component, information to provision a cloud computing system, the information based on the accessed metadata and one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection, wherein the provisioning component is implemented on at least one processor.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to one or more of infrastructure parameters, platform parameters, and application parameters.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the metadata includes information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to interdependencies among one or more of the infrastructure parameters, the platform parameters, and the application parameters.

19 . The system of claim 15 further comprising:

modifying, based on the metadata, one or more of the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection, the metadata including information related to provisioning the cloud computing system, the information corresponding to interdependencies among one or more of the infrastructure parameters, the platform parameters, and the application parameters.

20 . The system of claim 15 further comprising:

providing a user interface to enable a user to select the first selection, the second selection, and the third selection.
