Claim Text:
1. A system for creating a cross-configuration software module for cross-configuring software entities, the system comprising: a memory; a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory; and a connector creation tool communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor, wherein the connector creation tool is configured to perform a method comprising: retrieving a semantic representation of a set of systems utilizing the cross-configuration software module, wherein the cross-configuration software module is a self-contained software package configured to automatically cross-configure software entities to interact with each other, the semantic representation semantically representing a set of requirements that identifies at least one set of software entities required to be present on the set of systems, the set of software entities comprising at least one composable software bundle that includes a cloud independent description of software capturing a set of aspects needed to install and configure the software in a virtual machine; retrieving a functional representation of a set of operations, each operation in the set of operations is performed on the set of software entities associated with the set of systems during at least one connector life-cycle phase in a set of connector life-cycle phases, wherein the set of operations cross-configures at least a first of the set of software entities with at least a second of the set of software entities; identifying a set of artifacts comprising at least one of a set of metadata and a set of executable instructions associated with the set of operations; and storing the semantic representation, the functional representation, and the set of artifacts, in the cross-configuration software module.
