Abstract: The current document is directed to an automated-application-installation subsystem that provisions, installs, and configures applications across cloud-computing providers. The automated-application-installation subsystem employs an application blueprint to identify components to provisions, including component specifications and constraints, and to identify interdependencies between components. The automated-application-installation subsystem then determines a cost-effective provisioning of the identified components across available cloud-computing providers and installs the application according to the cost-effective provisioning. When less expensive, storage and computer-instruction-execution components of the application may be allocated from different cloud=computing providers.

Abstract: The current document is directed to automated application-release-management facilities that, in a described implementation, coordinate continuous development and release of cloud-computing applications. The application-release-management process is specified, in the described implementation, by application-release-management pipelines, each pipeline comprising one or more stages, with each stage comprising one or more tasks. The currently described methods and systems allow resources to be shared among multiple, interdependent release pipelines and allow access to shared resources to be controlled.

Abstract: The current document is directed to an automated-application-installation subsystem that provisions, installs, and configures applications across cloud-computing providers, including applications that invoke functions provisioned and executed through a distributed-function-as-a-service feature of the automated-application-installation subsystem. The automated-application-installation subsystem employs application blueprints to identify components to provision. An application blueprint generally includes component specifications, constraints, and interdependencies. The automated-application-installation subsystem then determines a cost-effective provisioning of the identified components across available cloud-computing providers and installs the application according to the cost-effective provisioning.

Abstract: The current document is directed to automated application-release-management facilities that, in a described implementation, coordinate continuous development and release of cloud-computing applications. The application-release-management process is specified, in the described implementation, by application-release-management pipelines, each pipeline comprising one or more stages, with each stage comprising one or more tasks. The currently described methods and systems check whether endpoints and external tasks are reachable prior to initiating execution of application-release-management pipelines. Automatic reachability checking is scheduled for idle intervals, when the workflow-execution-engine component of the automated application-release-management facility is not executing release pipelines.

Abstract: Techniques for determining host computing systems to deploy virtual machines based on disk specifications are disclosed. In one example, a blueprint to deploy a virtual machine in a cloud computing environment may be received. Further, disk specifications required to deploy the virtual machine may be retrieved from the blueprint. Furthermore, candidate storage entities that support the retrieved disk specifications may be determined. A host computing system that has connectivity to the candidate storage entities may be determined. the determined host computing system may be recommended to deploy the virtual machine.
