Abstract
Deployment of a software unit into a software application layer stack using deployment parameters including an ordering behavior parameter and a reference parameter. The deployment of the software unit may be in response to receipt of a software package for installation of the software unit. Installation of the software unit may be provided according to a hierarchical rule structure that includes determining whether the software unit comprises an upgrade or a patch to an existing software unit in the layer stack. If not an upgrade or a patch, an ordering behavior parameter may indicate a relative position to install the software unit in relation to a software unit designated by the reference parameter. If the deployment parameters are not valid, installation of the software unit may be provided according to a default rule.
