    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for task processing in a distributed environment are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes a task manager and a task dispatcher. The example task manager is to receive a task and create an execution context for the task, the execution context to associate the task with a routine for task execution. The example task dispatcher is to receive a report of task execution progress and provide an update regarding task execution progress, the task dispatcher, upon initiation of task execution, to facilitate blocking of interaction with a resource involved in the task execution. The example task dispatcher is to trigger an indication of task execution progress and, upon task finish, facilitate unblocking of the resource involved in the task execution.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes accessing, by executing an instruction with a processor implementing a management agent within a deployment environment, an indication of an instruction to be executed, the indication of the instruction to be executed provided by a management endpoint operated at a virtual appliance within the deployment environment. The instruction is retrieved from a repository. The repository is identified by the indication of the instruction to be executed. An instruction executor is directed to execute the instruction. The instruction is to cause the instruction executor to install an update to the management agent.
