Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for deploying a composite application. A method includes receiving, at a computing device, a container image that includes a nulecule. The nulecule is parsed to identify a first service, a second service, and a parameter of the first service. An input value is received corresponding to the parameter of the first service. A configuration value of the first service is modified to include the input value. The first service and the second service are deployed on the computing device, with the first service being configured with the configuration value.

Abstract: Methods and systems for separating presentation and business models for common management platform tasks in a storage area network (SAN) are disclosed. A graphical user interface (GUI) object may be mapped to a task object, which include action(s) performed on a SAN. A selection of task objects from a collection of task objects is received, which are needed to implement the underlying functionality of a GUI object. The collection of task objects is part of a task framework. An arrangement of the task objects according to a hierarchy of the framework is received. The hierarchy includes simple task objects, corresponding to actions performed on a SAN, and composite task objects, corresponding to at least two simple task objects and may include other composite task objects. The arranged task objects are mapped to the GUI object by extending a presentation object to encapsulate the GUI object and the arranged task objects.
