    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to improve packet flow among virtualized servers are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory, and hardware to execute instructions to generate a load balance list identifying first ones of virtualized network resources having respective values of a utilization status parameter that satisfy a first threshold, in response to at least a number of the first virtualized network resources not satisfying a load balance list threshold, update the load balance list to additionally identify second ones of the virtualized network resources, the second ones of the virtualized network resources having respective values of the utilization status parameter that satisfy a second threshold, the first threshold different from the second threshold, and adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one or more of the virtualized network resources based on the load balance list.

    Abstract: A disclosed example includes determining that first virtual machines (VMs) corresponding to a first percentage resource utilization indicative of resource usage of a first rack cause the first rack to generate a threshold amount of heat; determining, based on a second percentage resource utilization indicative of resource usage of a second rack, to migrate the first VMs to the second rack to reduce a temperature in a first room by at least the threshold amount of heat; migrating the first VMs from the first rack of the first room to the second rack of a second room; placing the first rack in a low-power state based on the migration of the first VMs to the second rack; and sending a temperature control signal to a climate control system to adjust a cooling process of the climate control system based on the first rack being in the low-power state.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to perform network fabric migration in virtualized servers are disclosed and described. An example apparatus a layer detector to determine a first network fabric layer of a communication network by sending a first probe packet from a first network resource to a second network resource via a communication link and determine to migrate the first network fabric layer to a second network fabric layer based on whether the first network resource receives a reply probe packet from the second network resource in response to the first probe packet. The example apparatus further includes a layer migrator to when the first network resource receives the reply probe packet from the second network resource in response to the first probe packet, migrate the first network fabric layer to a second network fabric layer based on configuring a remediation path and migrate the remediation path from the first network fabric layer to the second network fabric layer when the first network fabric layer migrates to the second network fabric layer.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve workload domain management of virtualized server systems. An example apparatus includes a resource status analyzer to determine a health status of a first virtualized server of a workload domain, compare the health status to a decomposition threshold based on a policy, and transfer a workload of the first virtualized server to a second virtualized server of the workload domain when the health status satisfies the decomposition threshold. The example apparatus further includes a resource deallocator to deallocate the first virtualized server from the workload domain to a pool of virtualized servers to execute the workload using the second virtualized server.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to optimize or otherwise improve packet flow among virtualized servers are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes a load balance list generator to identify abstracted network resources in a virtualized network based on a utilization status parameter of the abstracted network resources, generate a load balance list including the identified abstracted network resources, the load balance list including a number of the abstracted network resources satisfying a threshold, and generate a network routing configuration for data packets in the virtualized network based on the generated load balance list. The example apparatus further includes a policy adjustor to adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one of the one or more abstracted network resources based on the network routing configuration to distribute a packet flow among the abstracted network resources.
