Abstract: A system includes a marketplace portal to allow a user to order a business service, and a cloud controller to deploy an instance of the ordered business service to a cloud environment. The system includes an application programming interface (API) scanner to discover API information including at least one API exposed by the deployed instance of the ordered business service, and publish the discovered API information to another service.

Abstract: A target model is determined for a source application that is to be migrated to a target system. The target model can be determined in part from policies and application characteristics of the source application. A deployment plan is determined, based at least in part on the target model, for application functionality that represents a migration of the source application. The deployment plan can include executable instructions to implement multiple deployment objectives of the application functionality with the target system. The instructions of the deployment plan can also include recursive logic to select or configure at least one deployment objective based on an outcome of implementing another deployment objective with the target system.

Abstract: Lifecycle management in a cloud environment is disclosed. The lifecycle management includes accessing lifecycle actions of an orchestration from a service registry. The orchestration is executed in the cloud environment. Lifecycle actions not available in the service registry are non-deterministically injected into the orchestration.

Abstract: Examples include provision of a hypervisor manager native API call from an API gateway to a hypervisor manager. Some examples include determination, with the API gateway and based on at least one restriction not enforced by the hypervisor manager, whether a requesting entity associated with the hypervisor manager native API call is authorized to cause an action that is requested in the hypervisor manager native API call. Such examples may involve provision of the hypervisor manager native API call from the API gateway to the hypervisor manager in response to a determination that the action is authorized.
