Abstract
Service level representations of applications being made highly available are automatically created and published, based on their operational representations. A repository containing multiple application service templates is maintained. Each application service template defines the attributes of an application type to include in corresponding service level representations. To create a service level representation for a specific application instance, an appropriate application service template is selected from the repository. The attributes of a copy of the selected template are populated with values describing the application instance and its associated resources (including a service identifier), thereby automatically creating a service level representation of the application instance. The attributes can be populated with data read from resources of the operational representation of the application instance. The created service level representation is validated, and published to the application service consumer for which the application is being made highly available.
