A system and method for generating security and compliance-aware software delivery pipelines includes a dashboard for configuring and inputting an application profile and an application context. In addition, the system and method each include an application profiler captures, discovers, and stores one or more attributes of an application, along with a pipeline generator that receives information from the dashboard to ultimately generate at least one software delivery pipeline outfitted with security policies and compliance-aware guidelines.

Automated generation of adaptive-security and compliance-aware distributed software delivery pipelines

A method for updating an application executing on a virtual machine includes replicating the virtual machine to produce a replica, applying an update to the replica that is scheduled to be made to the virtual machine, in parallel with the applying, updating one of the virtual machine and the replica so that a state of the virtual machine matches a state of the replica, and continuing execution of the application on one of the virtual machine and the replica.

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for injecting faults at select execution points of distributed applications are provided herein. A method includes monitoring a run-time state of each of multiple components of a distributed application to determine one or more sequence of events that triggers a fault injection point at one of the multiple components; defining a fault injection scenario in a specification based on said monitoring, wherein said fault injection scenario comprises a description of one or more sequence of events during which an intended fault is to be injected to a target component of the multiple components at one selected event; and executing the fault injection defined in the specification to perform injection of the intended fault during run-time of the distributed application.
