Abstract
In one aspect, a software application with application artifacts is deployed on a cloud computing platform. The cloud computing platform includes a platform product that can provide functionality that is required by the application. Application metadata is created based on analyzing the application artifacts and describes the application artifacts requirement. An application repository stores the application artifacts and the application metadata. A product description defines an application product for the software application and a product reference to the platform product is defined. The product description and the product reference are published in the application repository to update the application metadata. A composite repository refers to the application product and the platform product. The composite repository is transferred to a platform repository provided by the cloud computing platform.
