Abstract
An application framework for managing information technology (“IT”) infrastructure includes components that enable jobs to be defined and executed that perform IT infrastructure management tasks. Jobs are defined utilizing a user interface (“UI”) that includes a first pane that provides functionality for receiving a selection of a target type of IT infrastructure for a job. Compatible action blocks are then displayed in a second pane of the UI. User input can be received associating action blocks with a third pane of the UI. When user input is received associating an action block with the third pane of the UI, a task identifier is displayed in the third pane of the UI. The UI can also receive a selection of target devices upon which the actions defined by a job are to be performed. The framework executes program code corresponding to action blocks in the job on the target devices.
