A configuration management system provides a web user interface that allows a user to instruct the configuration management system to load content into an environment, take a snapshot of the environment, and store the snapshot in a snapshot library. The configuration management provides access to the snapshot library via the web user interface.

Composite content views

Systems and methods for discovering and provisioning computing devices within a computing environment. An example method may comprise: loading a first kernel from a removable storage, wherein the first kernel identifies device information of the computing device when executed; transmitting a provisioning request comprising the device information to a provisioning device over a network; receiving provisioning data and a second kernel over a network, the second kernel comprising an operating system installer; and overwriting the first kernel with the second kernel.

Discovering and provisioning computing devices in a security enhanced environment

A processing device receives an unauthenticated provisioning request from a hardware resource. Responsive to determining that the hardware resource satisfies one or more provisioning criteria, the processing device forwards the provisioning request to a server residing behind a firewall, receives provisioning data from the server, removes sensitive information from the provisioning data to create modified provisioning data, and forwards the modified provisioning data to the hardware resource.

Provisioning proxy for provisioning data on hardware resources

A processing device performs a statistical analysis of a plurality of previously provisioned composite applications, a composite application of the plurality of previously provisioned composite applications comprising a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes each having a final provisioned state for an application component of the composite application. The processing device predicts an intermediate provisioned state to be used for a node of a future composite application based on the statistical analysis. Prior to receiving a request to provision a new composite application comprising a node having a final provisioned state that is compatible with the determined intermediate provisioned state, the processing device provisions software on a resource to cause the resource to have the intermediate provisioned state.

Pre-provisioning resources for composite applications

A processing device receives an application descriptor of a composite application, the application descriptor comprising information for a plurality of nodes that comprise application components in the composite application. The processing device determines hardware criteria for the plurality of nodes based on the application descriptor. the processing device searches a pool of available hardware resources to identify a plurality of hardware resources that satisfy the determined hardware criteria. The process then allocates the identified plurality of hardware resources for the plurality of nodes, and provisions the application components on the identified plurality of hardware resources to cause the plurality of hardware resources to have states that correspond to the information for the plurality of nodes.

Hardware resource allocation and provisioning for composite applications

A processing device receives an unauthenticated provisioning request from a hardware, wherein the processing device is in a first network zone that is accessible to the hardware resource. The processing device determines whether the hardware resource satisfies one or more provisioning criteria. Responsive to determining that the hardware resource satisfies the one or more provisioning criteria, the processing device forwards the provisioning request to a server residing behind a firewall in a second network zone that is inaccessible to the hardware resource, receives provisioning data from the server by the provisioning proxy, and forwards the provisioning data to the hardware resource.
