Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of augmenting a deployment specification for a software application to determine a level of compliance of the application with a compliance characteristic, the deployment specification being suitable for identifying a resource required to execute the software application in a virtualised computing environment, the method comprising: receiving a definition of the compliance characteristic as a set of compliance criteria concerning the resource, wherein satisfaction of the compliance criteria during execution of the software application is suitable for determining the level of compliance of the software application with the compliance characteristic; selecting at least one software component from a library of components based on the definition of the compliance characteristic, the software component being operable to determine a state of satisfaction of at least a subset of the set of criteria for the compliance characteristic; and modifying the deployment specification to identify the at least one selected software component such that, on execution of the application, the level of compliance of the application with the compliance characteristic is determined.
