摘要： 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 the request of the second interface, an endpoint with respect to the second interface; fetch, at the request of 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Example virtual appliances disclosed herein include processor circuitry to accept a resource definition of a custom resource to be executed in a cloud computing environment. Disclosed example virtual appliances also include a lifecycle manager to manage a lifecycle of the custom resource based on a state machine. Disclosed example virtual appliances further include a database to: (i) query the lifecycle manager for a set of operations available to execute in a current lifecycle state of the custom resource; (ii) update a catalog item for the custom resource to present the set of operations available to execute in the current lifecycle state of the custom resource, the catalog item created based on the resource definition of the custom resource; and (iii) in response to selection of a first operation in the set of operations, send a message to cause the processor circuitry to execute the first operation.

摘要： Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide lifecycle management of custom resources in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein for custom resource lifecycle management include accepting, with an extensibility service implemented by a virtual appliance, a resource definition and a lifecycle definition for a custom resource to be executed in a cloud computing environment. Disclosed example methods also include managing, with a lifecycle manager implemented by the virtual appliance, a lifecycle of the custom resource based on a state machine implemented according to the lifecycle definition for the custom resource. Disclosed example methods further include providing, with a catalog implemented by the virtual appliance, a catalog item for the custom resource, the catalog item based on the resource definition for the custom resource.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide workflow subscription management in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Example disclosed methods include, in response to a first input identifying an event topic, causing, by executing an instruction with a processor, a corresponding event schema to be displayed, accessing a second input identifying a field included in the event topic schema and a third input identifying a threshold value corresponding to the field. Disclosed example methods also include, in response to receiving an event notification corresponding to the event topic and based on the threshold value having a defined relationship to a payload value included in an event payload contained in the event notification, triggering a workflow.

摘要： 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.
