Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to application deployment and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for deploying installable software artifacts in canonical form. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for deploying installable software artifacts in canonical form can include storing artifacts in platform independent canonical form. Thereafter, the method can include receiving a request from a client for first time provisioning or update to a specified application for a specific platform, locating the stored artifacts according to the specified application, dynamically generating a feature from the stored artifacts for the specific platform, and first time provisioning or updating the specified application in the client with the dynamically generated feature.
