Abstract
A method and associated systems for automated deployment of a private modular cloud-computing environment. A processor receives and analyzes user requirements, then uses those requirements to select and optimize module packages that direct automatic installations & configurations of modules of the private modular cloud-computing environment. These packages provide resources and instructions that let the processor first validate a base computing platform as being able to physically support desired virtualized cloud platform and services, then automatically install and configure the cloud's virtualization layer, cloud-management stack, virtual infrastructure, cloud services, applications, middleware, and other components onto the base platform. The processor analyzes and confirms the success of each deployment step of each module package as the step is performed. Module packages may be saved, revised, and reused to identify, update, duplicate, or optimize modules of the deployed cloud platform.
