This document describes how to manage applications in a private cloud environment. It discusses using service templates to standardize application deployment and updates. Service templates capture application configurations and dependencies to allow consistent, predictable deployments. The document also covers using in-place and image-based updates to easily upgrade applications while maintaining service availability. Dynamic optimization and power optimization help adjust resource utilization based on workload changes.
