Application Provisioning

The application provisioning service enables end-to-end provisioning of (NEP) applications, including initial application deployment, application upgrade, and application patching. Application provisioning services are capable of deploying applications on a single system, or on a group of systems that follow a set of defined grouping semantics. These services are also capable of deploying both single and multi-tier applications.

The following operations are supported by the application provisioning service:

• Creating application deployment descriptions

• Modifying application deployment descriptions

• Deleting application deployment descriptions

• Provisioning applications on hosts

• Provisioning a multi-tier application

• Inspecting deployed software on hosts at a specific point

• Removing applications from hosts

• Removing a multi-tier application

• Rolling back to previous version of applications

• Querying deployed applications on hosts
