Abstract: An example method is provided for a computing system in a private cloud computing environment to deploy an application in a hybrid cloud computing environment. The method may comprise generating a request to deploy an application in a public cloud environment, the request including a deployment plan that specifies one or more tasks to be executed by a virtual computing resource from a cloud provider to deploy the application. The method may comprise sending, to an orchestration node in the public cloud computing environment, the request to instruct the orchestration node to provision the virtual computing resource from the cloud provider and to cause the virtual computing resource to execute the one or more tasks. The method may further comprise receiving, from the orchestration node in the public cloud environment, status data and determining whether the application is successfully deployed in the public cloud computing environment.

Abstract: An example method for reserving resources in a multi-cloud environment may include receiving, by a reservation broker executing in the multi-cloud environment, a first client request to reserve a first cloud resource in a plurality of clouds. The plurality of clouds includes a corresponding plurality of cloud brokers. The method may include selecting, by the reservation broker, a first cloud broker from the plurality of cloud brokers based on a first reservation type associated with the first cloud resource. The first cloud broker corresponds to a first cloud selected from the plurality of clouds. The method may also include transmitting, by the reservation broker, a first reservation request to the first cloud broker. The first cloud broker is configured to reserve the first cloud resource in the first cloud based on the first reservation request.

Abstract: An example method for managing application deployment in a cloud environment may maintain a state machine. The state machine may include a plurality of application states, a plurality of state operations, and relationships among the plurality of application states and the plurality of state operations. In response to a client request for performing a deployment operation on an application in the cloud environment, the method may retrieve a current state of the application in the cloud environment. In response to a determination that the deployment operation is allowed based on the state machine and the current state, the method may generate a deployment plan based on a blueprint associated with the application. The blueprint defines how to perform the deployment operation in the cloud environment.

Abstract: An example method to provide a storage service in a virtualized computing environment may include obtaining network latency information associated with various hosts in the virtualized computing environment. In response to identifying a first network latency value that exceeds a threshold, wherein the first network latency is between the first host and a second host in the virtualized computing environment, the method includes placing the second host in a first cohesive cluster consisting of the second host. In response to identifying a second network latency value being less than or equal to the threshold, wherein the second network latency value is between the first host and a third host in the virtualized computing environment, the method includes grouping the first host and the third host in a second cohesive cluster. The method includes initiating configuration of resources in the first cohesive cluster and the second cohesive cluster to support the storage service.
