Abstract
Examples described herein relate to providing pool-based automated lifecycle management of infrastructure via abstracted resources. According to an example, a consumption model is maintained in which heterogeneous infrastructure is represented in a generalized form as logical resource objects, including nodes and pools of the nodes. The nodes have respective node roles indicative of specific functionality the nodes are operable to provide to a workload based on the respective attributes/qualities of the nodes. A state model is maintained through which the logical resource objects are transitioned among states and responsive to which notifications are provided to an application orchestration tool associated with the workload. Interactions by the application orchestration tool with heterogeneous infrastructure utilized by the workload are abstracted by providing an API through which requests to manage a lifecycle of the heterogeneous infrastructure are expressed with reference to the logical resource objects.
