摘要: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes accessing, by executing a first instruction with a processor implementing a management agent within a deployment environment, an indication of a second instruction to be executed, the indication of the second instruction to be executed provided by a management endpoint within the deployment environment. A package supporting execution of the instruction is requested from the management endpoint. A component of the package is loaded into a command cache. The component of the package includes the second instruction to be executed. The command cache is implemented by a plug in framework. The second instruction is executed from the command cache. A result of the execution of the second instruction is collected. The result of the execution of the second instruction is transmitted to the management endpoint.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement cloud functionality in a cloud agnostic system. An example apparatus to implement cloud specific functionality in a cloud agnostic system includes a request interpreter to determine whether a first request includes an indication that a cloud resource is to be partially provisioned, a provision determiner to select the cloud resource based on the indication, and a cloud interface to transmit a first resource request to partially provision the cloud resource, and in response to a second request including constraints specific to the cloud resource, transmit a second resource request to fully provision the cloud resource.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes requesting, by executing an instruction with a processor within a deployment environment, a package supporting execution of a second instruction from a management endpoint, loading, by executing an instruction with the processor, a first component of the package in a command cache, the first component including a third instruction to implement a plugin framework, causing, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second component of the package to be stored in an instruction cache, the instruction cache located outside the deployment environment, the second component including a fourth instruction, and executing the first component from the command cache.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement cloud functionality in a cloud agnostic system. An example apparatus includes: at least one memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: generate a blueprint including components of requested cloud resources and their relationships; provide an allocation flag to the blueprint, the allocation flag indicating the requested cloud resources are to be partially provisioned; transmit a first provisioning request to a cloud management platform, the cloud management platform to manage a plurality of cloud resources; and in response to the cloud management platform selecting cloud resources, transmit a second provisioning request to fully provision the selected cloud resources, the second provisioning request including constraints specific to the selected cloud resources.

摘要: Methods and apparatus to orchestrate infrastructure installation of a hybrid system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first virtual appliance including a management endpoint. The first virtual appliance is to organize tasks to be executed to install a computing infrastructure. The example apparatus includes a first component server to execute tasks. The component server includes a management agent to communicate with the management endpoint to receive a task to be executed to install the computing infrastructure. The first virtual appliance is to associate a role with the first component server and to determine whether the first component server satisfies a prerequisite associated with the role. The first virtual appliance is to facilitate addressing an error when the first component server is determined not to satisfy the prerequisite.

摘要: Methods and apparatus to clone an agent in a distributed environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first management agent associated with a first component server in a virtualization environment, the first management agent configured to facilitate communication between the first component server and a virtual appliance, the virtual appliance to authenticate the first management agent based on first credentials including a first identifier and a first certificate. The example apparatus includes a second management agent associated with a second component server in the virtualization environment, the second management agent cloned from the first management agent and including a copy of the first credentials. The example second management agent is to: generate second credentials including a second identifier and a second certificate; authenticate with the virtual appliance based on the first identifier and the first certificate; and delete the copy of the first credentials.
