    Abstract: An example method of configuring a cluster network for an application management system having a cluster of virtual machines (VMs) is described. The VMs execute on a virtualization layer in a cluster of hosts connected to a physical network, the application management system integrated with the virtualization layer. The method includes: receiving, at a first master server, a request to assign network ports of the cluster network to control VMs of the VMs, the control VMs executing master servers of the application management system and having first network interfaces connected to a management network isolated from the cluster network; provisioning, by cooperation of the first master server with a network manager, the network ports of the cluster network; and reconfiguring, by cooperation of the first master server with a virtualization management server, the control VMs with second network interfaces connected to the network ports of the cluster network.

    Abstract: An information-technology (IT) blueprint is an executable document that, when executed, can be used to create an IT application such as an e-commerce site. An IT lifecycle blueprint can further be used to manage (e.g., modify) and, ultimately, destroy such an IT application. To this end, an IT lifecycle blueprint can include idempotent methods that achieve the same result whether starting from a blank (real or virtual) infrastructure or from a previously populated infrastructure. In other words, the same method that created an IT application can be used to modify it. A request for a post-deployment modification can be made using a topological representation of a blueprint and highlighting the representations of components to which a selected modification could be applied.

    Abstract: An example method of testing a cluster network for an application management system having a cluster of virtual machines (VMs) is described. The VMs execute on a virtualization layer in a cluster of hosts connected to a physical network, and the application management system integrated with the virtualization layer. The method includes: receiving, at an edge node from an external network, a plurality of test applications; executing, at the edge node, the plurality of test applications, the edge node connected to the cluster network, the plurality of test applications communicating, through the cluster network, with a master server of the application management system, and with applications executing in the VMs managed by the master server; and returning, from the edge node, responses generated by the plurality of test applications to the external network.

    Abstract: An information-technology (IT) blueprint is an executable document that, when executed, can be used to create an IT application such as an e-commerce site. An IT lifecycle blueprint can further be used to manage (e.g., modify) and, ultimately, destroy such an IT application. To this end, an IT lifecycle blueprint can include idempotent methods that achieve the same result whether starting from a blank (real or virtual) infrastructure or from a previously populated infrastructure. To effect a modification that is not within the scope of the blueprint that created the IT application, a new lifecycle blueprint can be created, if necessary, and executed to effect the modification. In a sense, the new lifecycle blueprint replaces the old lifecycle blueprint as a manager tool for the IT application.
