The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the maintenance and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains model data associated with a multidimensional model of the software offering. Next, the system stores the model data in a graph database. Finally, the system uses the graph database to facilitate management of the software offering.

Graph databases for storing multidimensional models of software offerings

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a set of requirements associated with a service definition of the software offering. Next, the system uses the requirements to automatically provision a set of infrastructure slices for use by the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user, wherein each of the infrastructure slices includes a set of resources configured to support a workload associated with the software offering.

Multi-site provisioning of resources to software offerings using infrastructure slices

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the maintenance and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains model data associated with a multidimensional model of the software offering. Next, the system displays the model data to a user as a set of dependency mappings among a set of service components and a set of resources used by the software offering. Finally, the system facilitates management of the software offering through the displayed model data.

Dependency visualization and fault diagnosis using multidimensional models for software offerings

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the maintenance and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains model data associated with a multidimensional model of the software offering. Next, the system uses the model data to calculate a set of dependency scores representing levels of dependency among a set of service components and a set of resources used by the software offering. Finally, the system uses the dependency scores to facilitate management of the software offering.

Dependency-based impact analysis using multidimensional models of software offerings

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a service definition of the software offering and a resource definition of resources available for use by the software offering. Next, the system creates a multidimensional model of the software offering by mapping a first set of elements from the service definition to a second set of elements from the resource definition. Finally, the system uses the multidimensional model to manage the deployment and execution of the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user.

Multidimensional modeling of software offerings

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a service definition of the software offering. Next, the system creates a work-breakdown structure based on a set of policies from the service definition. Finally, the system uses the work-breakdown structure to automatically provision a set of resources for use by the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user.
