Abstract
In one aspect, a state file is received that describes a desired state of a provisioned software product started in a cloud environment. The state file defines the bundles to be installed and their desired state. The desired states of the bundles are read from the state file. Currently installed bundles, from the provisioned software product, are analyzed together with current states of the currently installed bundles. The specified bundles in the state file are compared to the currently installed bundles. The current states of the currently installed bundles are compared to the desired states from the state file to determine whether a current state of the provisioned software product corresponds to the desired state.
