Abstract

A deployment system provides the ability to deploy a multi-node distributed application, such as a cloud computing platform application, which has a plurality of interconnected nodes performing specialized jobs. The deployment system includes a deployment director that provisions an infrastructure that includes one or more virtual machines (VMs) for hosting the plurality of nodes of the cloud computing platform application. The deployment director distributes a plurality of jobs (e.g., application packages and configurations) to deployment agents executing on the provisioned VMs, based on a mapping in the deployment manifest between the infrastructure and the plurality of specialized jobs to be performed by the cloud computing platform application. The deployment agents apply the jobs to their respective VM (e.g., launching applications), thereby deploying the cloud computing platform application.
