The present invention relates to the field of communications and information technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for configuring a redundancy solution in a cloud computing architecture, so as to solve a problem that a manner of manually planning a redundancy solution has poor flexibility and is unfavorable to overall management of a system. The method in the present invention includes: receiving a redundancy solution configuration request; determining, according to the redundancy solution configuration request, redundancy capability information and redundancy constraint requirement information of an application object to be configured; and determining, according to infrastructure information, infrastructure manager information, and application object information in an established redundancy capability information base, and the redundancy capability information and the redundancy constraint requirement information of the application object to be configured.
