  • Patent number: 10249014
    Abstract: During a process of migrating a source system into a standardized virtual environment, virtual machine instances of the source system executing in a hypervisor are snapshotted as virtual machine images in an operational repository of the hypervisor. The virtual machine images in the operational repository are short-term snapshots. From time to time during the migration process, long-term snapshots of the source system are created by checking given ones of the virtual machine images from the hypervisor operational repository into an image library as image objects.

  • Patent number: 10216509
    Abstract: Integrated application development and deployment may speed up application development. The continuous integration component of a software development engine may generate a completed version of a deployment project in a development environment by at least generating an updated version of a first project element concurrently with integrating an initial version of the first project element with an initial version of a second project element. The updated version of the first project element is then integrated with the initial version of the second project element to generate the completed version. An orchestration component may configure a production environment to execute a production image that is a copy of a development image that is created from the completed version, in which the production environment is mirrored by the development environment. The continuous integration tool may also include an automatic deployment component that deploys the production image into the production environment for execution.
