1. A method for automating generation of a digital twin of an enterprise-wide information technology platform, the method comprising:
receiving, at a platform as a service (“PaaS”) automation engine over a network, a request to generate a digital twin of a source computing system;
mounting, by the PaaS automation engine, the source computing system for on demand access to at least part of the source computing system;
accessing, by the PaaS automation engine, parameter information representing aspects of the source computing system and the digital twin;
replicating, by the PaaS automation engine processing the parameter information, at least application programming comprised in the source computing system;
migrating, by the PaaS automation engine, the replicated application programming to a digital twin staging store associated with the digital twin;
providing, by the PaaS automation engine, the replicated application programming to the digital twin;
identifying, by the PaaS automation engine processing the parameter information, a delta between the replicated application programming and the source computing system;
updating, by the PaaS automation engine processing the delta, the application programming of the digital twin;
providing to the digital twin, by the PaaS automation engine, data associated with at least part of the source computing system; and
unmounting, by the PaaS automation engine, the source computing system.
