Abstract: A plurality of computing resources are provisioned for a plurality of computing system elements based at least in part on input specification information, whereby the input specification specifies the plurality of computing resources. The plurality of computing resources include one or more computing resources of a first computing system element of the plurality of computing system elements that are provided for a second computing system element of the plurality of computing system elements. The plurality of computing system elements are evaluated to identify whether the plurality of computing system elements are successfully executed and a report is generated based at least in part on the evaluation.

Abstract: Technology for rapid deployment of computing instances from images is provided. In one example, a method may include instantiating a base computing instance and building an application layer on the base computing instance to create a modified computing instance. A machine image of the modified computing instance may be saved. The modified computing instance may be instantiated based on the machine image and a customer-defined configuration may be applied to the modified computing instance to obtain a configured computing instance.
