Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for selecting an appropriate platform to run an application deployed in a cloud computing environment. The appropriate platform is selected by employing a two phase process, where the first phase occurs prior to the deployment of the application and the second phase occurs after the application has been deployed. In the first phase, the cloud computing node selects a platform using various factors, such as application binaries, application metadata and artifacts, and qualities of service and application requirements. In the second phase, the cloud computing node determines whether an alternative platform needs to be implemented for subsequent deployments of the application using various factors, such as application runtime metrics and garbage collection metrics. In this manner, an appropriate platform is automatically selected thereby removing the requirement for the user to indicate the type of platform for the target environment.
