Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automatic enrollment of Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints. An enrollment request is received from an internet of things (IoT) gateway, the enrollment request comprising an identifier for an IoT endpoint and at least one property of the IoT endpoint. In response to enrollment of the IoT endpoint, a campaign template is identified that matches the at least one property of the IoT endpoint. A campaign associated with the campaign template is then identified, the campaign comprising a collection of policies that are applicable to individual IoT endpoints assigned to the campaign. Subsequently, the IoT endpoint is assigned to the campaign.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to publish internal commands as a programming interface in a cloud infrastructure are provided. An example apparatus includes a first virtual appliance including a management endpoint to coordinate task execution in a computing platform. The example apparatus includes a computing infrastructure interface including a programming interface, the programming interface to expose a subset of commands for the computing platform and to hide a remainder of the commands of the computing platform from a requester, the requester to execute a first command from the subset of commands via the programming interface. The management endpoint is to parse a first execution task generated from selection of the first command via the programming interface to determine a component of the computing platform to execute the first command associated with the first execution task and to route the first command from the first execution task to the component for execution.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to store machine readable instructions and processor circuitry of a first device to execute the machine readable instructions to cause the processor circuitry based on a request to perform an action having a duration that is unspecified or sufficiently long, obtain a handle for a user token corresponding to a user that requested the action. Additionally, the processor circuitry is to, during performance of the action by a cloud provider, access the user token using the handle when the cloud provider requires user authorization, the user token to be accessed from a second device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automatically creating device campaigns. A computing device first determines that a second version of a software package assigned to an existing device campaign has been uploaded to a data store. The existing device campaign can include an existing compliance policy applicable to individual IoT endpoints assigned to the existing device campaign. The compliance policy may specify that a first version of the software package be installed on the individual IoT endpoints. In response, to the change, the computing device can create a new device campaign that includes a new compliance policy applicable to the individual IoT endpoints assigned to the new device campaign. The new compliance policy may specify that the second version of the software package be assigned to the individual IoT endpoints.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one computer readable medium; and processor circuitry to execute instructions that cause the processor circuitry to: in response to detecting a first request to establish a first session with a cloud provider that is to perform a first action: establish the first session using credentials associated with the cloud provider; record a lifespan of a session token associated with the first session; and transmit the session token to a cloud provider adapter to facilitate communication between the cloud provider adapter and the cloud provider; and in response to detecting a second request to establish a second session with the cloud provider that is to perform a second action, transmit the session token to the cloud provider adapter to facilitate communication between the cloud provider adapter and the cloud provider.
