Abstract
A method includes selecting, for each of a plurality of application workloads, first and second configuration templates based on aligning an application workload specification template with first and second pluralities of configuration templates in respective first and second repositories. The first repository is obtained by filtering the second repository using a local platform catalog representing capabilities provided by information technology infrastructure. The method also includes scheduling the application workloads to run on the information technology infrastructure utilizing respective ones of the first configuration templates each comprising a set of heterogeneous elements of the information technology infrastructure. The method further includes generating one or more upgrade recommendations for modifying the information technology infrastructure based on analysis of the first and second configuration templates selected for respective ones of the application workloads, and transmitting the one or more upgrade recommendations over a network to an operator of the information technology infrastructure.
