Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a common interface for associating an ordered set of instructions and/or resources from a release automation application with a configuration manager node associated with a server type. Embodiments are directed to a single-click bootstrapping of an unassociated node to a configuration management server. Embodiments include receiving an indication to associate a node with a configuration management server; connecting to the node though a release automation agent; installing a configuration management server client; connecting to the configuration management server using the configuration management server client; and registering the node to the configuration management server.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to a common interface for associating an ordered set of instructions and/or resources from a release automation application with a configuration manager node associated with a server type. Embodiments are directed to identifying an application, identifying a deployment environment for deploying the application, identifying a configuration manager, identifying a server type from a plurality of server types available for the application, identifying a configuration management node associated with the server type, defining an ordered set of instructions and/or resources for the configuration management node by selecting an instruction or resource from a list of instructions and recipes associated with the configuration management node, and storing the ordered set of instruction and/or resources for future deployment of the application in the configuration management node.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to designing a deployment environment for a continuous delivery tenant. Embodiments include receiving, via a natural language input, a set of parameters for building a deployment environment for an application; determining, by a natural language processing engine, a resource to satisfy a parameter of the set of parameters; identifying, for a resource, a resource provider for providing the resource; and installing, via a network interface, the application on the resource provider.
