Abstract
Various embodiments disclose a method and system for creating a virtual part used for composing a virtual solution. In one embodiment, a user's selection of at least one virtual image is received. A set of configurability points is associated with the virtual image. A set of parameters of a virtual part is set as configurable during virtual solution composition. A set of virtual ports is generated. Each virtual port within the set of virtual ports indicates at least one of a set of virtual parts required by a virtual part including the set of virtual ports and a set of virtual parts that is compatible with the virtual part. A set of configuration operations is received. A virtual part including at least the virtual image, the set of configurability points, the set of virtual ports, and the configuration operations is generated.
