Abstract: A configuration deployment system stores configuration settings for a plurality of applications disposed at one or more computing hosts. The configuration settings are stored in a versioned repository and are organized in a hierarchical namespace structure. To deploy the configuration settings, a deployment service monitors the configuration settings at the configuration repository and identifies when a new configuration setting or a new version of an existing configuration setting is available in the configuration repository. The new configuration setting is transmitted to a computing device for use in an application. The application applies the changed configuration setting upon verifying that the change is compatible with the application.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to perform web-based installations and/or upgrade architectures for enterprise software. An example method disclosed herein includes obtaining configuration information at an installation handler via a web-based interface, the configuration information including a source locator identifying a source location of a source package and a target locator identifying a target machine on which to install the source package, the target machine being separate from the installation handler and the source location. The example method also includes validating the configuration information, and, in response to determining that the configuration information is valid, deploying the source package to the target machine.
