Abstract

An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a processing platform configured to implement multi-layer infrastructure comprising compute, storage and network resources at a relatively low level of the multi-layer infrastructure, an application layer at a relatively high level of the multi-layer infrastructure, and one or more additional layers arranged between the relatively high level and the relatively low level. The processing platform is further configured to determine policies for respective different ones of the layers of the multi-layer infrastructure, the policy for a given one of the layers of the multi-layer infrastructure defining rules and requirements relating to that layer, to enforce the policies at the respective layers of the multi-layer infrastructure, and to monitor performance of an application executing in the multi-layer infrastructure. One or more configuration parameters of the multi-layer infrastructure are adjusted based at least in part on a result of the monitoring.
