Service provider interface for deploying and managing applications on a cloud

摘要

A system is provided to deploy a computing application on a cloud using a service provider interface. The system comprises a launch request detector, a service provider interface selector, and a launcher. The launch request detector may be configured to detect a request to launch a server computer system within a virtualization service. The server computer system, in one example embodiment, comprises a computing application and a service provider interface layer. The service provider interface selector may be configured to determine an implementation of the virtualization service and access a service provider interface associated with the implementation of the virtualization service. The launcher may be configured to complete launching of the server computer system within the virtualization service, utilizing the selected service provider interface.
