    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: An example method of managing virtualized computing resources provided by a public cloud includes: grouping subscriptions in the public cloud into reservations, each of the reservations including constraints on virtualized computing resources provided by at least one of the subscriptions; allocating the reservations among a plurality of principals; receiving a request to provision a workload from a user associated with a first principal of the plurality of principals, wherein the workload includes metadata describing constraints of the workload; generating a deployment plan for the workload based on the metadata therein and at least one of the reservations allocated to the first principal, the deployment plan specifying a first subscription of the subscriptions; and transmitting a deployment.

    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: An example method of extending a cloud manager configured to manage a public cloud includes: receiving a content package at the cloud manager, the content package including a component entity, the component entity including a resource type entity that represents a resource provided by the public cloud, a user interface (UI) form entity that defines a UI for configuring the resource, and a lifecycle operations logic that extends at least one phase of a workflow of the cloud manager; receiving a request from a user through the UI defined by the UI form entity to create the resource in the public cloud; executing the workflow of the cloud manager in response to the request; and executing the lifecycle operations logic during execution of the workflow.
