    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.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide workflow subscription management in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include causing display of a template corresponding to an event topic that is to trigger a workflow associated with a first workflow subscription, the first workflow subscription included in a plurality of workflow subscriptions having a hierarchy, the template to include a first field to specify whether at least one other workflow subscription associated with the event topic is to be blocked until a hierarchically dominant workflow subscription has at least one of been notified of the event topic or taken action based on the event topic. Disclosed example methods also include triggering the workflow in response to an event notification associated with the event topic.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to scale in and/or scale out arbitrary resources managed by a cloud automation system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an execution plan determiner to determine an execution plan for a scaling operation of an application in a platform environment based on a dependency graph; a component scaler to scale a scalable component in the platform environment corresponding to the application based on the execution plan by executing custom logic associated with the scalable component specified in the execution plan; and a dependent updater to update operation of a dependent component based on the scaling of the scalable component, the dependent component operating in conjunction with the scalable component.

    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: 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 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.
