    Abstract: The current document is directed to cloud-based cloud-management systems and subsystem components of the management systems that store, retrieve, use, and manipulate artifacts. In the described implementations, artifacts are represented by artifact descriptors, referred to as “artifact specs,” which are instantiated, at run time, as corresponding artifact models. The artifact models include full descriptions of the artifacts as well as references to locally stored instances of the artifacts that can be used to access the artifacts. In the case of automated-application-release-management subsystems, artifacts include executables, program code, files containing input and/or output data, and other stored data used in provisioning virtual machines, deploying application executables, testing application executables, and carrying out other subtasks of application development, testing, and release.

    Abstract: A workflow is expressed as an arrangement of a set of executable tile. In some embodiments, the tiles include operations expressed in different programming languages. A tile can include a declarative specification of datatypes so that external agents, e.g., workflow services, can identify the datatypes and schemas required as arguments and produced as result; this simplifies the defining of a workflow, e.g., by a workflow coder. A tile can have zero, one, or plural user interfaces; selection of a user interface from plural user interfaces can be based on a user selection, on user roles, or on tile lifecycle stage. Workflow services can communicate with each other so that workflows can be distributed and shifted among processor nodes.

    Abstract: The current document is directed to an artifact-management subsystem and interface to the artifact-management subsystem that is, at least in part, implemented by plug-ins to a particular artifact repository. The currently disclosed artifact-management-subsystem interface includes a comprehensive set of search types, using which particular artifacts can be identified and retrieved from various artifact repositories. The search types include search types natively supported by one or more repositories as well as search types implemented by plug-ins to a particular artifact repository, with the plug-ins, in certain cases, accessing additional, remote artifact repositories. Use of plug-in technology provides a path to a comprehensive artifact-management-subsystem interface that does not involve the complexities and problems associated with individually interfacing to a variety of different types of artifact repositories.

    Abstract: An artifact manager generates an abstraction for artifacts and repositories in a deployment platform such that the artifacts may be located uniformly and securely in each deployment environment during the deployment process. The described system includes a release automation platform having a release pipeline which is responsible for deploying build artifacts into multiple deployment environments, testing the build artifacts thoroughly in each environment, and follow organization-specific approval processes to promote the build artifacts to a next deployment environment.

    Abstract: A system for managing a virtualized computing system is disclosed. The system enables a user of a mobile device to efficiently track and manage computing resources via a management application that includes a graphical user interface that is designed to be operated using a conventional terminal (e.g., via a mouse and keyboard). The system may receive commands from the user of the mobile device in a first format and translate the commands into a second format that can be executed by a management application. Embodiments of the present disclosure further enable a management application to verify and securely communicate with users via existing communications services (e.g., social networking services) without expending additional resources to develop custom, secure interfaces for multiple mobile software and hardware platforms.
