Abstract: To configure an application platform for policy-based automated exception handling, a plurality of policies are established, each defining a requirement for applications. A plurality of exceptions are also established, each defining an expiration time and indicating at least one of the policies. A processor automatically generates a configuration file associating each of the exceptions with each policy indicated in the exception. The processor then automatically configures the application platform according to the configuration file. As a result of this configuration, an admission controller of the platform selectively tests an application designated for deployment to the application platform, based on a determination whether an exception assigned to the application is presently applicable to the policy. The exception is presently applicable based on an association of the exception with the policy in the configuration file, and a comparison of a present time with the exception's expiration time.
