1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor and memory;
the at least one processor is configured to cause the apparatus at least to:
receive deployment parameters from an entity regarding deployment of software;
identify resource information for resources on a plurality of computing platforms to host the software;
select a host computing platform from the plurality of computing platforms based on the deployment parameters and the resource information;
deploy the software on the host computing platform; and
implement a redeployment process by iteratively performing:
monitoring the resource information to identify updated resource information for one or more of the resources on the plurality of computing platforms;
identifying downtime of the software deployed on the host computing platform;
reselecting the host computing platform from the plurality of computing platforms based on the deployment parameters and the updated resource information; and
redeploying the software on the host computing platform during the downtime of the software when the host computing platform reselected based on the updated resource information differs from the host computing platform where the software is presently deployed.
