Abstract: Methods and apparatus to scale in and/or scale out arbitrary resources managed by a cloud automation system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry; and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to: in response to an indication to scale a first component of an application to be deployed: determine an execution plan to scale the first component based on a dependency graph corresponding to a dependency within a blueprint specifying a logical topology of the application; perform a custom action to scale the first component, the custom action identified in a scaling parameter associated with the application; and update operation of a second component based on scaling the first component, the second component dependent on the first component, the update to enable the second component to interact with the first component after the scaling.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide client extensibility during provisioning of virtual computing resources are disclosed. An example event broker apparatus includes a subscription manager to manage subscriptions to event topics associated with provisioning of a virtual computing resource. The example apparatus includes a meta-topic subscriber to identify a subscription request by a service for an event topic and to trigger, in response to the subscription request, a meta-topic subscription to indicate a) a subscriber to the event topic and b) a type of the subscriber, the type to include at least a blocking subscriber. The example apparatus includes a topic monitor to monitor for an event corresponding to the event topic to determine whether to trigger a blocking subscriber workflow when the meta-topic subscription indicates that the type of the subscriber is a blocking subscriber or bypass the blocking subscriber workflow when the type of the subscriber is not a blocking subscriber.

Abstract: A computer system includes hosts for hosting virtual infrastructures. Compute resources provided by the hosts are allocated to user groups (e.g., departments, projects) in the form of reservations that define amounts of resources available to the user groups. Tags can be associated with both hosts and with reservations. A reservation has access to resources of a host having a host tag that matches a user tag associated with the reservation. Thus, to make a host available to a reservation, either 1) a tag can be added to the reservation to match a tag of the host, or 2) a tag can be added to the host to match a tag of a reservation. This can be more convenient than a case in which both a host and a reservation must be configured to give the reservation access to the host.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for custom interface specification in a cloud management system are disclosed. An example cloud management system includes: a first interface to communicate with a second interface external to the cloud management system; and a host to manage requests from the second interface and allocate resources to the second interface as a reverse proxy for the second interface with respect to a backend. The example host is to at least: add, at a first request from the second interface, an endpoint with respect to the second interface; fetch, at a second request from the second interface, data for the endpoint from the backend, the backend identified for the endpoint based on metadata in a component registry; and provide the data from the backend to the second interface.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide client extensibility during provisioning of a composite blueprint are disclosed. An example virtual appliance in a cloud computing environment includes an orchestrator to facilitate provisioning of a virtual computing resource based on a blueprint, the provisioning associated with an event defined by the blueprint. The example virtual appliance also includes an event broker to maintain a set of subscribers to the event broker, each of the set of subscribers further subscribing to at least one event topic through the event broker, the event broker to trigger a notification of a first subscriber to a first event topic associated with the event when the event broker determines that the first subscriber is a blocking subscriber for the first event topic, the event broker to facilitate modification of the event by a blocking subscriber but not by a non-blocking subscriber.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to customize deployment using metaproperties are disclosed. An example deployment metaproperty manager can generate a first metaproperty payload including an initial application component metaproperty of an application component that provides a logical template of an application. A deployment event broker can reply-back to the deployment metaproperty manager with a second metaproperty payload that includes a processed application component metaproperty.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide workflow subscription management in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Examples disclosed herein cause a graphical user interface associated with a virtual appliance to present a template to create a first workflow subscription, the template including (1) a first input element to specify a workflow to be performed, and (2) a second input element to specify an event topic that is to trigger operation of the workflow, the second input element including a field to specify at least one of (i) whether other workflow subscriptions are to be blocked from an event notification associated with the event topic until the first workflow subscription has acted upon the event notification, or (ii) whether a reply notification is to be sent to a service associated with the event notification after the workflow has completed in response to being triggered based on the event notification.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for dynamically extending a cloud management system by adding endpoint adapter types are disclosed. An example cloud management system includes: an interface to communicate with an external device; a host to manage requests and allocate resources through one or more virtual machines; and an endpoint registry to include an endpoint adapter and metadata defining the endpoint adapter, the endpoint adapter to specify communication between at least one of the host or the external device and an endpoint. In the example cloud management system, the host is to at least enable, via the interface, the external device to access the endpoint registry a) to register an endpoint adapter configuration with the endpoint registry and b) to retrieve the endpoint adapter configuration from the endpoint registry.
