Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes accessing, by executing an instruction with a processor implementing a management agent within a deployment environment, an indication of an instruction to be executed, the indication of the instruction to be executed provided by a management endpoint operated at a virtual appliance within the deployment environment. The instruction is retrieved from a repository. The repository is identified by the indication of the instruction to be executed. An instruction executor is directed to execute the instruction. The instruction is to cause the instruction executor to install an update to the management agent.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
