Abstract
A computer-implemented method, program product and apparatus for platform specific payload management. The method receives a request containing an OS override value, calls a set of selection bundles using the OS override value and receives true for all selection bundles in the set of selection bundles applicable to the OS override value to form applicable selections and false for all selection bundles not applicable to the OS override value. The computer-implemented method further identifies OS specific payloads using the applicable selections, selects an OS specific payload as a deployable image from a repository, downloads the deployable image to a target system from the repository and unpacks the deployable image on the target system to form an installed image.
