Abstract: Methods and apparatus to facilitate infrastructure installation checks and corrections in a distributed environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a virtual appliance including a management endpoint. The example apparatus includes a component server including a management agent to communicate with the management endpoint. The virtual appliance is to assign a role to the component server and to determine a subset of prerequisites associated with the role based on an applicability to the role. Each of the subset of prerequisites is associated with an error correction script. The component server is to determine whether the component server satisfies the subset of prerequisites associated with the role. The component server is to address an error when the component server is determined not to satisfy at least one of the subset of prerequisites by executing the error correction script associated with the at least one of the subset of prerequisites.

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 and apparatus to clone an agent in a distributed environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first management agent associated with a first component server in a virtualization environment, the first management agent configured to facilitate communication between the first component server and a virtual appliance, the virtual appliance to authenticate the first management agent based on first credentials including a first identifier and a first certificate. The example apparatus includes a second management agent associated with a second component server in the virtualization environment, the second management agent cloned from the first management agent and including a copy of the first credentials. The example second management agent is to: generate second credentials including a second identifier and a second certificate; authenticate with the virtual appliance based on the first identifier and the first certificate; and delete the copy of the first credentials.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; first instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the first instructions to manage an instruction queue. The instruction queue includes indications of second instructions to be executed at a component server. The processor circuitry is to add a first indication of a corresponding one of the second instructions to the instruction queue. The first indication is to identify: (1) a location of the second instruction and (2) a format of the second instruction. In response to a second indication that the second instruction has been executed, the processor circuitry is to remove the first indication from the instruction queue.
