    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for automatic creation of service tem­plates for deployment of services in a data processing infrastructure (100), such as a cloud computing environment, which provides a pool of resources. A service template is inter­preted by a service orchestrator (120), the service orchestra­tor allocates resources from the pool of resources and deploys services based on the resources by interpreting the service template. The method comprises the steps of: receiving existing packages (L1 -L3) of configuration scripts and at least one run list (RL1, RL2) for automatic installation or configuration of resources on existing servers; extracting from the packages (Ll-L3) of configuration scripts deployment information regarding the resources to be installed or configured by the configuration scripts and generate a collection of resource types based on the information in­cluding their associated automation modules; extracting from the packages (Ll-L3) of configuration scripts and at least one run list (RL1, RL2) deployment dependencies be­tween the resources to be installed or configured by the configuration scripts; and using the deployment information and the deployment dependen­cies for creating a service template describing the deployment hierarchy of the resources for deploying a specific service.
