Abstract
A method, system, computer system, and computer-readable medium to create a snapshot of an existing information system using a model of an information processing system. The model defines a set of instructions that is operable to discover data about a resource in the existing information processing system, and the snapshot is created by executing the set of instructions. An analysis of the snapshot is performed to identify a set of actions needed to make a change to the existing information processing system. Changes to the existing information processing system may include, for example, upgrading the existing information processing system, deploying a new instance of the existing information processing system, and optimizing performance of the existing information processing system.
