Implementations for policy-based application deployment and continuous best-fit placement across heterogeneous computing infrastructures are disclosed. A method of the disclosure includes determining that an application of a source application platform system triggered a metrics-based threshold of a plurality of metrics-based thresholds, determining, based on the metrics-based threshold that was triggered, a target application platform system to deploy the application, translating metadata of the application from a format of the source application platform system to a format of the target application platform system, and causing the application to be deployed at the target application platform system.

Policy-based application deployment to a target application platform system

A system and method for provisioning resources in a cloud environment are provided. An example system includes a communication module that receives from a requestor running in a cloud environment a request for one or more cloud resources. The example system also includes an identification module that identifies a set of provision policies for the requestor. The example system further includes a resource manager that determines, based on the set of provision policies, whether to approve the request for one or more cloud resources, and that when the request is determined to be approved, determines, based on the set of provision policies, whether to provision one or more physical computing machines and one or more virtual machines for the requestor. The one or more cloud resources is at least one of one or more physical computing machines and one or more virtual machines.
