Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises an analytics platform and a controller. The controller is associated with the analytics platform and configured to control automated deployment of analytics workspaces of the analytics platform. The analytics platform includes or otherwise has access to sets of at least data ingestion engines, data containers, analytics tools and virtual resources. The controller is configured to deploy a given one of the analytics workspaces of the analytics platform as an at least partially user-specified combination of particular selected ones of the data ingestion engines, data containers, analytics tools and virtual resources. The controller may additionally be configured to monitor usage of the combination of particular selected ones of the data ingestion engines, data containers, analytics tools and virtual resources of the given analytics workspace, and to alter the combination responsive to the monitoring.

Abstract: A system and method are shown for automatically regenerating an application installer from an application instance installed in a computing environment that involves collecting information for objects installed in the computing environment for an installed application, creating an installer map showing a plan for linked objects related to the installed application, adding a copy of the linked objects to an application installer package for the installed application, and creating a regenerated application installer based on the application installer package for the installed application.
