Abstract: A method of controlling access to components of an SDDC in a hybrid environment, the hybrid environment including a cloud platform from which cloud services are delivered to the SDDC through agents deployed on an agent platform appliance, includes the steps of: transmitting to a first component of the SDDC, a request to create a first account for accessing the first component of the SDDC by a first agent, which is one of the agents deployed on the agent platform appliance; in response to the first agent requesting access to the first component of the SDDC, transmitting to the first component of the SDDC, credentials associated with the first account and a request for a first authentication token that authorizes the access to the first component of the SDDC; and upon receiving the first authentication token from the first component of the SDDC, transmitting the first authentication token to the first agent.

Abstract: A method of registering and deploying an agent platform appliance in a hybrid environment includes the steps of: transmitting a first code to a cloud platform to create an authentication account for the agent platform appliance, wherein credentials for accessing the authentication account include the first code; transmitting a request for an access token that permits downloading images of agents from an agent repository of the cloud platform, wherein the request for the access token includes the first code for accessing the created authentication account; upon receiving the access token, transmitting a request to the agent repository, to download the images of the agents, wherein the request to download the images of the agents includes the received access token; and upon receiving the images of the agents from the agent repository, installing the agents on the agent platform appliance using the received images of the agents.

Abstract: A method of connecting a software-defined data center (SDDC) to a cloud platform to enable the cloud platform to deliver cloud services to the SDDC includes the steps of: deploying an agent platform appliance that is connected to a management network of the SDDC; and deploying a plurality of agents on the agent platform appliance, wherein the agents include a first agent that is configured to issue a command to a component of the SDDC to perform an operation requested by a cloud service of the cloud platform and a second agent that is configured to acquire an authentication token for authenticating to the component of the SDDC, and wherein the second agent acquires the authentication token from the component of the SDDC, and the first agent acquires the authentication token from the second agent and transmits the command and the authentication token to the component of the SDDC.

Abstract: A method of executing a workload initiated from a cloud platform, in a software-defined data center (SDDC), wherein the cloud platform delivers cloud services to the SDDC, includes the steps of: deploying a first agent in an agent appliance platform that is connected to a management network of the SDDC, wherein the first agent is an agent of one of the cloud services and issues commands to execute the workload on the SDDC; and upon completion of the workload, deleting the first agent from the agent appliance platform.

Abstract: A method of managing lifecycle of agents of cloud services running in a customer environment according to a desired state of the agents includes comparing a running state of the agents against the desired state. Upon determining that the running state includes a first agent that is not present in the desired state, the first agent is removed. Upon determining that the desired state includes a second agent that is not present in the running state, the second agent is deployed. Upon determining that there is a drift in the running state of a third agent from the desired state of the third agent, the third agent of the desired state is deployed while the third agent of the running state continues execution. The third agent of the running state is removed after the third agent of the desired state executes without errors for a period of time.

Abstract: A cloud service for managing an agent platform appliance is configured to issue commands to an agent platform management agent deployed on the agent platform appliance to upgrade the agent platform appliance to a desired version. Upon receipt of this command, the agent platform management agent carries out a method of updating the agent platform appliance, which includes: determining that a current version of the agent platform appliance does not match the desired version, determining connectivity to a repository that stores bits for updating the agent platform appliance to the desired version, requesting a first agent to perform a first pre-update check and a second agent to perform a second pre-update check, and after the first pre-update check and the second pre-update check have passed, requesting an appliance management service running on the agent platform appliance to perform an update of the agent platform appliance to the desired version.
