US Patent 11922179 Migrating software and system settings between computing environments

Software and system settings can be migrated between computing environments. In one example, a system can receive a group of software identification modules defining a group of software fingerprints for detecting a group of software components. Each software identification module can include a respective software fingerprint for detecting a respective software component. The system can determine that a source computing environment includes one or more software components from within the group of software components by analyzing the source computing environment using each respective software fingerprint in the group of software fingerprints. The system may then deploy the one or more software components in a target computing environment.
