Abstract
An example method for managing application deployment in a cloud environment may maintain a state machine. The state machine may include a plurality of application states, a plurality of state operations, and relationships among the plurality of application states and the plurality of state operations. In response to a client request for performing a deployment operation on an application in the cloud environment, the method may retrieve a current state of the application in the cloud environment. In response to a determination that the deployment operation is allowed based on the state machine and the current state, the method may generate a deployment plan based on a blueprint associated with the application. The blueprint defines how to perform the deployment operation in the cloud environment.
