Abstract
A method for automating the deployment and lifecycle management of an integration solution by using a deployment solution template to gather deployment information, where the integration solution combines components developed separately or on different platforms. The deployment information gathered includes the computing environment topology into which the integration solution is being deployed, as well as the resource requirements and non-functional requirements of the integration solution and its components. The method provides computer implemented models for analyzing the gathered deployment information, and identifying and optimizing deployment options. Choices for selection among identified and optimized options based on non-functional requirements of the integration solution may be displayed to a user of the deployment method. The deployment template may be customized to modify the information being gathered in view of the analysis provided by the models, and in order to use the template and models in subsequent deployments and for the management of the integration solution.
