Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for workload deployment density management for a multi-stage architecture implemented within a multi-tenant computing environment. The method includes receiving different requests from different tenants of a multi-tenant computing environment to deploy respectively different application instances of respectively different computer programs into different nodes of the host computing system. The method also includes determining from each request an associated stage of a software lifecycle for a corresponding one of the application instances. Finally, the method includes deploying each of the application instances into a particular one of the nodes depending upon an associated stage of each of the application instances so that each of the nodes hosts different application instances for different tenants of a common stage of the software lifecycle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for workload deployment density management for a multi-stage computing architecture implemented within a multi-tenant computing environment, the method comprising: receiving different requests from different tenants of a multi-tenant computing environment executing in memory of a host computing system of one or more physical servers each with memory and at least one processor, to deploy respectively different application instances of respectively different computer programs into different nodes of the host computing system; determining from each request an associated stage of a software lifecycle for a corresponding one of the application instances; and, deploying each of the application instances into a particular one of the nodes depending upon an associated stage of each of the application instances so that each of the nodes hosts different application instances for different tenants of a common stage of the software lifecycle. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nodes comprise at least a production node and a development node. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the nodes further comprise a quality assurance node. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining from each request a scaling policy for the corresponding one of the application instances; and, deploying each of the application instances into the particular one of the nodes depending not only upon the associated stage of each of the application instances so that each of the nodes hosts different application instances for different tenants of a common stage of the software lifecycle, but also upon the scaling policy. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining from each request a known utilization of the corresponding one of the application instances; and, deploying each of the application instances into the particular one of the nodes depending not only upon the associated stage of each of the application instances so that each of the nodes hosts different application instances for different tenants of a common stage of the software lifecycle, but also upon the known utilization. 6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: determining from each request a known utilization of the corresponding one of the application instances; and, deploying each of the application instances into the particular one of the nodes depending not only upon the scaling policy and the associated stage of each of the application instances so that each of the nodes hosts different application instances for different tenants of a common stage of the software lifecycle, but also upon the known utilization.
