    Abstract: Executing workflows can include receiving, via an interface associated with execution of a workflow, an entry corresponding to a particular workflow object from among a plurality of workflow objects of a datacenter, communicating the entry to a third-party system, receiving, from the third-party system, search results corresponding to the entry, wherein the search results include indications of a subset of the plurality of workflow objects of the datacenter that each have a threshold correlation with the entry, displaying, via the interface, a plurality of items respectively corresponding to the subset of the plurality of workflow objects of the search results, receiving a selection, via the interface, of an item of the plurality of items, and designating a workflow object of the subset of the plurality of workflow objects of the search results that corresponds to the selected item as an input parameter of the workflow responsive to the selection.

    Abstract: Techniques for smart service catalogs based deployment of applications in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, resource information required to deploy an instance of an application is retrieved from a blueprint associated with a client. Further, available resource information may be obtained from a resource reservation associated with the client. A maximum number of instances of the application that can be deployed corresponding to the client is determined based on the resource information required to deploy the instance of the application and the available resource information. A service catalog including the maximum number of instances of the application that can be deployed based on the blueprint is generated. The service catalog is used to enable deployment of at least one instance of the application corresponding to the client.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for mounting a virtual disk to a virtual computing instance (VCI). The method comprises obtaining a set of required applications for each VCI in a set of VCIs. The method comprises obtaining constraints of each VCI in the set of VCIs. The method further comprises determining pair-wise application overlap between each pair of VCIs of the set of VCI, wherein the overlap complies with constraints of the two VCIs for which the overlap is determined. The method also comprises placing applications of at least one of the application overlaps into a virtual disk file, associating the virtual disk with the virtual disk file, and mounting the virtual disk to a first VCI of the set of VCIs.
