1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a device, first capability information that identifies requested capabilities, of a first set of devices, for deploying an application in a cloud computing environment;
determining, based on the first capability information, a topology associated with the requested capabilities,
wherein the topology defines a relationship between requested compute capabilities of the first set of devices, requested storage capabilities of the first set of devices, and requested network connectivity capabilities of the first set of devices;
receiving second capability information that identifies actual capabilities of a second set of devices of the cloud computing environment;
comparing the first capability information and the second capability information to generate a score; and
generating deployment information for deploying the application on one or more devices, of the second set of devices, based on the topology and the second capability information,
wherein the one or more devices are identified based on the score.
