    Abstract: An example method of configuring a cluster network for an application management system having virtual machines (VMs) executing on a virtualization layer in a cluster of hosts connected to a physical network, wherein the application management system is integrated with the virtualization layer, the method including: deploying, by a virtualization management server, a master server of the application management system prior to configuration of a cluster network that connects the VMs, the master server connected to the virtualization management server by a management network isolated from the cluster network; configuring, by the master server in cooperation with a network manager, the cluster network to connect the VMs; and connecting, by the master server in cooperation with the network manager, the cluster network to an edge node configured to support external ingress/egress for the cluster network.

    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.
