Abstract
An approach is provided for managing a deployment of a software package. A retrieved quality assurance (QA) seal corresponding to a software package is verified. A target deployment environment (TDE) is obtained. The QA seal is read to obtain first and second profiles, and metadata, which specify a deployment environment, hardware and software dependencies required in the deployment, and an approval for a release of the software package to the specified deployment environment, respectively. Based on a determination that the TDE matches the specified deployment environment, the QA seal indicates the software package is compatible with the TDE. The dependencies are determined to be satisfied. Based on the software package being compatible with the TDE, the dependencies being satisfied, and the specified approval for the release of the software package, a notification of an authorization of the deployment of the software package to the TDE is generated.
