Method and system for distributed application stack deployment

Method, system, and programs for deploying a distributed application stack on a cluster. A request is first received to deploy the distributed application stack including a plurality of software artifacts on the cluster including a plurality of nodes. Configuration information is then retrieved from a configuration repository based on the received request. The configuration information includes a version of each software artifact of the distributed application stack and a type of each node of the cluster. An instruction is created for each node based on the retrieved configuration information. The instruction is to be used to direct each node to deploy at least one of the plurality of software artifacts from a software package repository onto the node itself. The created instruction is then transmitted to each node.
