Abstract

A method for automated provisioning of computing resources in a distributed computing network includes obtaining a data structure representing a resource dependency characterization of an application to be implemented over the distributed computing network, wherein the data structure indicates a set of resources to be deployed, obtaining a template that represents a predefined network topology for supporting deployment of the set of resources, mapping the set of resources represented in the data structure to the template so as to satisfy a set of component requirements to generate a deployment map, and provisioning the set of resources on a plurality of computers based on the deployment map to implement the application over the distributed computing network.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present disclosure relates to computer network management and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for providing template-based provisioning in a distributed computing environment.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] A variety of deployment topologies have been utilized to deploy an increasingly wide range of services on servers. Common topologies include simple deployment with a single-point of failure, Web-tier only cluster deployment, business-tier only cluster deployment, database-tier only cluster deployment, single-site highly available deployment and multi-site highly available deployment. Selection of a deployment topology may be based on requirements for scalability, redundancy and networking. For example, a deployment may consist of a Web tier and a database tier. The Web tier may consist of a single Web server or multiple Web servers functioning as a cluster. The database tier may consist of S...
