Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system. The method includes creating an integrated topology model (ITM) instance of interconnected topology objects. The ITM instance includes a physical infrastructure topology model (PITM) instance comprising first interconnected topology objects, a virtual infrastructure topology model (VITM) instance comprising second interconnected topology objects, a network service topology model (NSTM) instance comprising third interconnected topology objects and inter-model linking information. The method also includes generating dependencies between the interconnected topology objects of the ITM instance based, at least in part, on the inter-model linking information. Further, the method includes generating a dependency graph based, at least in part, on the dependencies. The method also includes outputting at least a portion of the dependency graph for presentation to a user.
