Method and system for auto stacking and launching base and extended patterns using an automatic launch and restack engine

Abstract:

A method and system generates extended patterns from base patterns and tests the extended patterns. The patterns correspond to configurations for implementing cloud-based applications. The patterns are extendable to make additional extended patterns. Extended patterns carry the characteristics of the patterns from which they were extended. Updating a base pattern with new security measures causes a cascade effect that updates all extended patterns that descend from the base pattern. The method and system automatically stacks and launches applications according to the extended patterns.
