Abstract
Example implementations relate to virtual appliances. In an example, a processor-based appliance abstraction engine exposes a programming interface for accessing undifferentiated resources of a computing environment irrespective of the type of the computing environment. Computing environment types may include physical infrastructure, virtual infrastructure, or cloud infrastructure. The appliance abstraction engine discovers available resources of the computing environment and creates a virtual appliance by configuring the discovered available resources of the computing environment according to capabilities defined in a specification and by populating the computing environment with artifacts for a computing platform defined in the specification.
