Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for model based provisioning of applications and servers (both physical and virtual) to execute provisioned applications in a reliable and repeatable manner. Several aspects of a complex application management including compliance, change tracking, monitoring, discovery, processing steps, CMDB integration are disclosed within a comprehensive hierarchy of definition templates forming a model. This model can then be used at provisioning time to instantiate a compliant instance of the provisioned application. This model can also be used at run-time for managing run-time aspects of the provisioned application. Additionally, the model based approach can help track applications even when or if applications drift from their intended design and policies for use.
