Abstract
Systems and methods for simulation within a cloud computing environment. According to one embodiment, the system or method comprises a cloud computing environment with infrastructure management software and a cloud-based managed infrastructure. An interface is identified within infrastructure management software by first identifying a dataflow from the infrastructure management software to the infrastructure, and then, based on the dataflow, identifying a component within the infrastructure management software that is interacting with the infrastructure. A simulation class is then implemented using the identified interface, where the simulation class populates the infrastructure management software with metadata from an infrastructure database such that the infrastructure is simulated.
