Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to deploying a distributed system using operating system or container virtualization. An example apparatus includes a management container including a configuration manager and a container manager. The example configuration manager to is receive an instruction for a desired deployment state and is to apply a first change to a first current deployment state of the management container based on the desired deployment state. The example container manager is to apply a second change to a second current deployment state of a deployed container based on the desired deployment state. The container manager is to return information indicative of the desired deployment state to the configuration manager when the second change from the second current deployment state to the desired deployment state is achieved.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve cloud management. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and at least one processor to execute the machine readable instructions to at least store a blueprint and a cloud manager installer in a cloud platform manager to cause an installation of the cloud platform manager in a cloud computing environment, after a modification of the blueprint stored in the cloud platform manager, redeploy the cloud platform manager and a virtual resource of the cloud computing environment based on the modification, and cause execution of the cloud manager installer to manage a lifecycle of an application to be executed by the virtual resource.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve cloud management. An example apparatus includes at least one processor, and memory including instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to execute a cloud manager installer generated by a container platform manager, the cloud manager installer is to configure a cloud computing environment based on environment information, determine one or more virtual resources based on a blueprint, and deploy a cloud platform manager in the cloud computing environment to manage a lifecycle of an application executing in the cloud computing environment by provisioning the one or more virtual resources to the cloud computing environment, and installing the cloud platform manager in the cloud computing environment by storing the cloud manager installer and the blueprint in the cloud computing environment.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one computer readable medium; and processor circuitry to execute instructions that cause the processor circuitry to: in response to detecting a first request to establish a first session with a cloud provider that is to perform a first action: establish the first session using credentials associated with the cloud provider; record a lifespan of a session token associated with the first session; and transmit the session token to a cloud provider adapter to facilitate communication between the cloud provider adapter and the cloud provider; and in response to detecting a second request to establish a second session with the cloud provider that is to perform a second action, transmit the session token to the cloud provider adapter to facilitate communication between the cloud provider adapter and the cloud provider.

Abstract: Persistent connections are provided between components in a container environment. A hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) client may include a monitoring service and a proxy service. To obtain information regarding containers in the container environment, the monitoring service communicates a request to the proxy service. The proxy service in turn maintains a persistent connection for a session with a container management service using an authentication token, and communicates the request to the container management service during the session. The container management service obtains the requested information from the container(s) and returns the information in a response to the proxy service, which in turn returns the response to the monitoring service. The session is destroyed/ended only under certain error conditions—otherwise, the session between the proxy service and the container management system is kept persistent.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement cloud functionality in a cloud agnostic system. An example apparatus to implement cloud specific functionality in a cloud agnostic system includes a request interpreter to determine whether a first request includes an indication that a cloud resource is to be partially provisioned, a provision determiner to select the cloud resource based on the indication, and a cloud interface to transmit a first resource request to partially provision the cloud resource, and in response to a second request including constraints specific to the cloud resource, transmit a second resource request to fully provision the cloud resource.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement cloud functionality in a cloud agnostic system. An example apparatus includes: at least one memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: generate a blueprint including components of requested cloud resources and their relationships; provide an allocation flag to the blueprint, the allocation flag indicating the requested cloud resources are to be partially provisioned; transmit a first provisioning request to a cloud management platform, the cloud management platform to manage a plurality of cloud resources; and in response to the cloud management platform selecting cloud resources, transmit a second provisioning request to fully provision the selected cloud resources, the second provisioning request including constraints specific to the selected cloud resources.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to store machine readable instructions and processor circuitry of a first device to execute the machine readable instructions to cause the processor circuitry based on a request to perform an action having a duration that is unspecified or sufficiently long, obtain a handle for a user token corresponding to a user that requested the action. Additionally, the processor circuitry is to, during performance of the action by a cloud provider, access the user token using the handle when the cloud provider requires user authorization, the user token to be accessed from a second device.
