A system for blueprint-driven environment template creation in a virtual infrastructure comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a blueprint, receive an environment template configuration, and build an environment template using the blueprint and the environment template configuration. The environment template is for provisioning an environment. The environment is for deploying an application. The memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Use of client-side scripts in a service-oriented API environment is disclosed. A communication that includes a script sent by a service in response to a service request sent by a client to the service is received and executed at the client. In various embodiments, client-side scripts sent by a service are used to apply a policy and/or to cause the client to perform at the client required pre- and/or post-processing with respect to a services response.

Federated search is disclosed. A result associated with a search of a content source not natively configured to provide content type data for content items is received. A content type is associated with a content item included in the result based at least in part on information associated with the result.

Federated search

Information is processed by receiving from a requesting node a request to access a content management related service. The content management related service is performed at a second node in the opposite direction as the requesting node; the request is associated with an object tree. The object tree is walked to obtain information associated with the object tree. A set of one or more service context rules associated with the content management related service is determined. The object tree is processed using the set of service context rules and the results of the processed object tree are made available to the content management related service so that the content management related service is able to properly operate at the second node.

Object tree walking

A method for dynamic provisioning of server deployments using a dormant mode for content servers. Client devices may conduct transactions with servers when the servers are in an active mode. However, in the dormant mode, the servers do not accept new transactions. Thus, by utilizing the dormant mode on one or more servers, a server deployment scheme can be effectively scaled down by reducing the number of active servers. In order to scale up the deployment, one or more active servers are added to the deployment.

Tracking changes to application model definitions for application model migration is described. A combined history file is created based on changes associated with application model definition files. A first property for a first model definition file of the application model definition files is identified that depends on a second property for a second model definition file of the application model definition files. A change for the second property is identified based on the combined history file. A transformation file is constructed that includes a change for the first property based on the change for the second property.

Adjustments for application underachievement in a virtually provisioned environment are described. If an average of application operation times exceeds a first time constraint, a utilization measurement is recorded for each resource for each server in a virtually provisioned environment associated with an application operation when an application operation time exceeds a second time constraint. The resources include a central processing unit resource, a memory resource, a network resource, and/or an input-output resource. Each utilization measurement is converted to a corresponding utilization range of multiple utilization ranges. After the application operation time exceeds the time constraint on a specified number of occasions, an additional resource is provisioned to adjust the specific resource for the specific server based on an enhancement factor applied to the specific resource if the utilization record includes a specific range for the specific resource for the specific server more than a specified frequency.

A method for automatically provisioning a virtual computing environment comprising a plurality of virtual computing nodes includes provisioning a virtual base node using base configuration information that includes a base endpoint that identifies interconnectivity parameters required to communicate with the virtual base node, and storing the base endpoint in an endpoint registry. The method further includes determining that a virtual first node depends on the virtual base node, and receiving the base endpoint from the endpoint registry. Thereafter, the virtual first node is provisioned using the received base endpoint and first configuration information for the virtual first node.

Provision a virtual environment based on topology of virtual nodes, node dependencies and base node configuration information

Calculating costs of application operations in a virtually provisioned environment is described. Servers are identified that support application operations associated with executing an application, based on a configuration file. A count of each type of application operation currently executing and a resource utilization associated with each of the servers are recorded. A set of linear equations is created if the resource utilization is recorded on the number of occasions that equals the number of application operation types. Each linear equation equates a sum of a count of each type of application operation recorded as executing during an occasion with the resource utilization recorded on the occasion. The set of linear equations is solved to estimate and output resource costs of each individual type of application operation to assist in resource management.

Identifying root causes of application underachievement in a virtually provisioned environment is described. A utilization measurement is recorded for each resource for each server in a virtually provisioned environment associated with an application operation if an application operation time exceeds a time constraint. The resources include a central processing unit resource, a memory resource, a network resource, and/or an input-output resource. Each utilization measurement is converted to a corresponding utilization range of multiple utilization ranges. After the application operation time exceeds the time constraint on a specified number of occasions, an identification of a specific resource for a specific server as a root cause of the application operation time exceeding the time constraint is output if the utilization record includes a specific range for the specific resource for the specific server more than a specified frequency.

Estimating required resources to support a specific number of users in a virtually provisioned environment is described. Servers are identified that support application operations associated with executing an application, based on a configuration file. A count of each type of application operation currently executing and a resource utilization associated with each of the servers are recorded. A set of linear equations is created and solved to estimate resource costs of each individual type of application operation and ultimately to calculate required resource costs to support the projected number of concurrent users.

Systems and methods are provided for automatically configuring resources of a deployment environment so that the resources can be monitored by a resource monitoring program. In an implementation, a blueprint having a representation of a deployment topology of the environment is received. A resource template that specifies an inventory model of the resource monitoring program is received. Resources listed in the blueprint are configured according the inventory model specified in the template, thereby allowing the resources to be monitored by the resource monitoring program.
