Abstract: A provisioning machine may receive a request that an application be executed while distributed according to a distribution constraint among various devices. The provisioning machine may access a topological model that represents multiple devices configured as a single cloud-based application server and defines a first group of devices that have the same redundancy status (e.g., active or backup). In addition, the topological model may define a second group of devices that have the same functional role (e.g., executing a particular component of the application). A device may be a member of both the first group and the second group. The provisioning machine may determine a size of the first group according to the distribution constraint. Based on the determined size of the first group, the provisioning machine may configure (e.g., provision) the first group of devices as a subset of the multiple devices of the server.

Abstract: A query language used to traverse a path in a graph-based model is provided. The system comprises a parsing module to parse a query comprising query phrases. The respective query phrases composed of an object-type identifier and a filter where the object-type identifier corresponds to respective repositories and the filter is used to identify at least a portion of the objects associated with the object-type in the respective repositories. A planning module identifies the respective repositories corresponding to the object-type identifier within each of the one or more query phrases and generates an execution plan describing data to be retrieved according to the respective repositories and results of a preceding query phrase within the query. A translation module translates the respective query phrases into respective translated queries that are readable by the respective repositories and including the filter. An execution module implements the execution plan using the translated queries.
