Abstract

Various methods and systems for implementing dependency management for an infrastructure are provided. A dependency service manager of the dependency management system includes a plurality of dependency management system components that facilitate automatically discovering and analyzing data to generate dependency data. The dependency data includes dependencies and dependents of dependency service tenants which are tenant services of the infrastructure. The dependency data is generated based on data retrieved by a plurality of collectors. A collector from the plurality of collectors is an agent that retrieves data associated with dependency service tenants based on a corresponding collection time attribute of the collector. A collector accesses data for generating the dependency data at one of the following collection times: design time, deployment time and runtime. The dependency data that is generated is then stored in a data store and communicated to a dependency service interface for user access to the dependency data.
