Abstract

Instantiating a resource of an IT-service includes analyzing a service model of an IT-service, the service model including a node representing a resource for providing the IT-service. A resource type of the resource being indicated by the node is determined, and a resource manager being operable to instantiate the resource is identified. A resource-manager-specific API of the resource manager is identified, and at least one abstract method for instantiating the resource is overridden with a resource-manager specific method of the resource-manager-specific API. The resource-manager specific method for instantiating the resource represented by the node is executed.
