Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for improving the deployment of a cloud-hosted service. Before being deployed to a particular environment, a cloud-hosted service must be configured for that environment. Configuring a deployment includes determining which components to deploy, determining how to connect with external components, identifying onboarding procedures, etc. A dependency data model defines a hierarchy of components utilized by the cloud-hosted service. For each component in the hierarchy, configuration parameters define how to deploy that component. A list of configuration parameters that do not yet have values for a target environment may be generated and provided to a user. Values for these parameters may then be received. A configuration for the target environment is then generated based on the dependency data model and the received values. The dependency data model may inherit dependencies and configuration properties from ancestors in a hierarchy of dependency data models.
