Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage execution of virtual machine workflows are described. An example method includes determining that an execution manager that has requested a first workflow for execution is tagged with a skill, selecting, from a queue, a virtual machine workflow that is tagged with the skill and that matches the requested first workflow; and transmitting the virtual machine workflow to the execution manager for execution.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to reclaim resources in virtual computing environments are described. An example method includes determining, with a processor, if a characteristic of a virtual machine meets a threshold indicating that the virtual machine is inactive, in response to determining that the characteristic meets the threshold, determining, with the processor, if a notification period has expired, and if the notification period has expired, de-provisioning, with the processor, the virtual machine to return computing resources assigned to the virtual machine to a cloud.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage virtual machines are described. An example method includes presenting a list of available basic blueprints, storing a multi-machine blueprint referencing a first basic blueprint for a first virtual machine from the list and a second basic blueprint for a second virtual machine from the list, and in response to a request to provision the multi-machine blueprint, the request including an identification of a first number of instances to be provisioned for the first virtual machine and a second number of instances to be provisioned for the second virtual machine, provisioning the first number of instances of the first virtual machine and the second number of instances of the second virtual machine.
