Multi-site provisioning of resources to software offerings using infrastructure slices

摘要

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a set of requirements associated with a service definition of the software offering. Next, the system uses the requirements to automatically provision a set of infrastructure slices for use by the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user, wherein each of the infrastructure slices includes a set of resources configured to support a workload associated with the software offering.
