Abstract

A method and system are provided. The method includes defining an application manifest that describes a computing solution for transfer from a cloud site to an on-premises computing appliance at a given premises. The computing solution is executable for a dataset resident at the given premises. The method further includes defining a characterization of a local premises environment in which the computing solution will be executed. The method also includes modifying the application manifest using the characterization of the local premises environment by at least one of adding, removing and modifying at least one component of the application manifest to provide a modified application manifest. The method additionally includes installing the computing solution in a computing appliance at the local premises environment according to the modified application manifest. The computing appliance is for executing the computing solution.
