Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and products for managing computer resources in a distributed computing system are disclosed that include registering, in a configuration management database (422) by a discovery module (404) in response to a modification of a resource in a resource container (424), the resource in association with a configuration management database identifier, the resource characterized by a resource type and a resource identification, the resource container including a manageability endpoint characterized by a manageability endpoint reference (410); and managing the resource by a management module (408) in dependence upon a resource management policy (432) and the manageability endpoint reference, the resource management policy including management actions (434) for the resource.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable program code are provided for creating a set of virtual machine image for software. A virtual software resource template is retrieved. Metadata associated with the virtual software resource template is copied and the copy of the metadata is modified to generate personalized metadata for each virtual machine image in the set of virtual machine images. Then, the set of virtual machine images is deployed using the personalized metadata.
