Patent ID: 8572679

Claim:
A method executed at least in part in a computing device for implementing changes to a system, the method comprising: receiving a change request at an orchestrator component; extracting from the received change request data configuration files, wherein extracting from the data configuration files information regarding a target system of a data payload, deployment scopes associated with the target system, and processing time for implementing the change request on the target system; performing a security check and a validation check, by hardware processor, to validate a quality of the change request and to ensure that the change request meets a specification of the target system, wherein a validation component performs the validation check in stages to validate several validation points, wherein prior to deploying the change request through an initial deployment scope, submitting the change request to the validation component for an initial validation to ensure that the target system is in a stable state for the deployment to begin; when the security check and the validity check are affirmed, deploying the change request through at least one deployment scope; deploying the change request to a target system; and implementing the change request on the target system.
