    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, 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.
