Software releases can be generated based on controller metadata in some examples. In one such example, a system can receive metadata files including a set of properties for controllers executable in a distributed computing environment to manage software components collectively forming a software application. Each metadata file can specify respective properties for a respective controller. The system can extract deployment details from the set of properties included in the metadata files, where the deployment details can specify how the controllers are to be deployed in the distributed computing environment. The system can then generate combined metadata that includes the deployment details from the metadata files. The system can incorporate the combined metadata into a software release, so that the software release can be used to deploy the controllers in accordance with the combined metadata.
