Application Deployment
HOPEX enables association of an application with one or several deployments. A deployment is supported by a site. On the same site, an application is deployed to offer different services to different users.
In addition, the problem of application deployment also consists of determining compliance between the infrastructure required to deploy an application and the existing infrastructure. The modeling tool must help in answering the following questions:
• What are the infrastructures required to deploy this application?
• Does the existing infrastructure enable deployment of this application?
• What are the missing elements?
To answer these questions, two models are required: description of the infrastructure required on the one hand, and description of the existing infrastructure on the other. Mapping of these two infrastructures helps in determining the compliance level.
