Application component decomposition and deployment
View Patent ↗A computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program product deploy application components within a distributed environment. A Runtime management platform opens an application archive for an application to be deployed onto a distributed computing environment. The runtime management platform identifies a set of application components for the application. The runtime management platform identifies at least one set of rules defining application component deployment patterns for the set of application components. The runtime management platform deploys the set of application components to a set of runtime containers according to the at least one set of rules defining the application component deployment patterns.
