Abstract: In some examples, methods and systems to automatically create runtime environments are provided. For example, a method includes: receiving a request to create a runtime environment; automatically generating a cluster of nodes based on the request, wherein the cluster of nodes are configured to run one or more containerized applications for the runtime environment; automatically applying a manifest onto the cluster of nodes, wherein the manifest includes one or more configurations associated with the runtime environment; and automatically deploying one or more software products into the cluster of nodes.
