US Patent 10326655 Infrastructure replication

Technology for capturing a configuration of an infrastructure to enable replication of the infrastructure is provided. In one example, a layout agent may be provided for deployment to an infrastructure, including a server, together with instructions for the layout agent to capture server layout data for the server and to communicate the server layout data to a replication application. The server layout data for the server may be received at the replication application. A system model for the infrastructure may be generated based on the server layout data from the layout agent. The replication of the infrastructure as a replicated infrastructure may be initiated based on the system model.
