Abstract: A method to deploy a multitier application in a virtualized computing environment includes receiving an open virtualization format (OVF) package. The OVF package includes an OVF descriptor, one or more virtual disk image files of virtual machines, and a multitier application blueprint specifying software components on the virtual machines and dependencies of the software components. The method further includes deploying the virtual machines based on the OVF package and executing the multitier application blueprint by deploying the software components on the virtual machines pursuant to the dependencies of the software components.
