User group
Distributed application developers
Value
Automated selection of optimal VMs and VM topology for an application workflow with deadline constraints; automatic provisioning of VMs according to the planned topology; automatic installation of application containers onto provisioned VMs from remote repositories.
Tagline
Optimised infrastructure planning and provisioning for time-critical applications.
Features
Partial critical path based VM infrastructure planning; Automated networked VM provisioning with support for multiple sites; Remote deployment of containerised application components onto provisioned VMs.
[1] Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a method of estimating technology maturity of components during the acquisition process. For non-technical components, you can specify “n/a”. For technical components, you can select them based on the following definition from the EC:
TRL 1 – basic principles observed
TRL 2 – technology concept formulated
TRL 3 – experimental proof of concept
TRL 4 – technology validated in lab
TRL 5 – technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
TRL 7 – system prototype demonstration in operational environment
TRL 8 – system complete and qualified
TRL 9 – actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies)
