Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for validating application deployment topology in a cloud environment. There is provided an apparatus for validating application deployment topology in a cloud environment comprising: a topology skeleton generator configured to generate, based on multiple VMs and script packages running on the VMs created by a user and required to deploy an application as well as running order of script packages and data dependency between script packages set by the user, a topology skeleton that comprises at least scripts of script packages of respective VMs and running order of the script packages; and a simulator configured to simulate a runtime environment in the cloud environment at the apparatus, thereby validating the running order and data dependency with respect to the topology skeleton, wherein the simulator is installed in the apparatus by using a simulator installation package retrieved from the cloud environment.
