What does it contain? Package Variability What “parts are needed to be deployed”? Requirements What is needed to deploy this package? What is needed to be maintained for the lifetime of the deployment? Results What does this provide? What effect will this have on my environment? Solution Deployment Descriptor (SDD) Provides external information to enable consumers to analyze and make pre-deployment decisions. Consumers can be tools that are performing composition or tools that are making pre-deployment decisions. Software Package (Logical / Not Physical) Reduce the Complexity of Managing IT Resources!!
