摘要： A configuration model for an existing software solution, which is distributed over a plurality of existing machines, is discovered. The model includes a plurality of configuration items, which in turn include a plurality of independent attributes and a plurality of dependent attributes, with the plurality of dependent attributes being derivable from the plurality of independent attributes based on a plurality of constraints. The configuration model is stored in a repository, together with disk images, resource configuration details, and logical names of pertinent ones of the existing machines. Specifications of new values of the independent attributes are obtained, and new values of the dependent attributes are computed from the new values of the independent attributes, based on executing the constraints on the configuration model. The images are deployed onto a plurality of new machines for operation in accordance with the new values of the independent attributes and the new values of the dependent attributes, to obtain a re-deployed solution. The machines can be virtual machines or physical machines.

摘要： A framework instantiates an application from its disk snapshots. The disk snapshots are taken from a different network environment and migrated to a virtualized environment. Modifications to operating systems and hypervisors are avoided, and no special network isolation support is required. The framework is extensible and plug-in based, allowing product experts to provide knowledge about discovering, updating, starting and stopping of software components. This knowledge base is compiled into a plan that executes various interleaved configuration discovery, updates and start tasks such that a required configuration model can be discovered with minimal start and update task execution. The plan generation automatically stitches together knowledge for the various products, thus significantly simplifying the knowledge specification. Once discovery is complete, the framework utilizes the discovered model to update stale network configurations across software stack and customize configurations beyond network settings.

摘要： Configuration parameter name-value pairs are obtained for each of a plurality of component instances in a deployed software solution. A candidate set of configuration dependencies between different ones of the plurality of component instances in the deployed software solution is identified, based on the configuration parameter name-value pairs. The candidate set of configuration dependencies includes true dependencies and false dependencies. The candidate set of configuration dependencies is rank-ordered to obtain a rank-ordered list, such that a probability of the true dependencies getting a higher rank is greater than a probability of the false dependencies getting a higher rank.
