Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide workflow subscription management in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include causing display of a template corresponding to an event topic that is to trigger a workflow associated with a first workflow subscription, the first workflow subscription included in a plurality of workflow subscriptions having a hierarchy, the template to include a first field to specify whether at least one other workflow subscription associated with the event topic is to be blocked until a hierarchically dominant workflow subscription has at least one of been notified of the event topic or taken action based on the event topic. Disclosed example methods also include triggering the workflow in response to an event notification associated with the event topic.

Abstract: An example method to manage post provisioning operations of a virtual computing instance in a heterogeneous cloud environment is disclosed. The virtual computing instance may be provisioned by a first management entity and configured to receive a command from a second management entity. The method includes defining the instance with a dynamic type by the first management entity and repeatedly finding the dynamic type with one or more finder workflows to determine whether the virtual computing instance is terminated based on the command from the second management entity. In response to not finding the dynamic type within the heterogeneous cloud environment, the method further includes creating a catalog item for the virtual computing instance in a common service catalog and managing one or more resources allocated for the virtual computing instance based on the created catalog item.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide workflow subscription management in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Example disclosed methods include, in response to a first input identifying an event topic, causing, by executing an instruction with a processor, a corresponding event schema to be displayed, accessing a second input identifying a field included in the event topic schema and a third input identifying a threshold value corresponding to the field. Disclosed example methods also include, in response to receiving an event notification corresponding to the event topic and based on the threshold value having a defined relationship to a payload value included in an event payload contained in the event notification, triggering a workflow.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide workflow subscription management in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. Examples disclosed herein cause a graphical user interface associated with a virtual appliance to present a template to create a first workflow subscription, the template including (1) a first input element to specify a workflow to be performed, and (2) a second input element to specify an event topic that is to trigger operation of the workflow, the second input element including a field to specify at least one of (i) whether other workflow subscriptions are to be blocked from an event notification associated with the event topic until the first workflow subscription has acted upon the event notification, or (ii) whether a reply notification is to be sent to a service associated with the event notification after the workflow has completed in response to being triggered based on the event notification.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to customize deployment using approvals are disclosed. An example deployment approval manager can generate a first Approval Payload including an initial application component approval proposal of an application component that provides a logical template of an application. A deployment event broker can reply-back to the deployment approval manager with a second approval payload that includes a processed application component approval proposal.
