Abstract: The current document is directed to a meta-level management system (“MMS”) that aggregates information and functionalities provided by multiple management systems and provides additional management functionalities and information. In one implementation, the MMS interfaces to external entities and users through an MMS application programming interface (“API”) implemented as a GraphQL™ interface. The MMS API, in turn, accesses microservices and stream/batch processing components through microservice and stream/batch-processing-component GraphQL interfaces. The MMS employs at least three different databases: (1) an inventory/configuration database; (2) a metrics database that stores metrics derived from time-series data obtained from the multiple management systems and from other information stored in the inventory/configuration database; and (3) an MMS database that stores business insights and other MMS-generated data. A central data bus is implemented by a KAFKA™ event-streaming system. The data and information is input to the data bus by the various microservices, stream/batch processing components, and collectors.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to detect drift in a hybrid cloud environment. An example apparatus to detect drift in a hybrid cloud environment includes a configuration model determiner to, after deployment of a blueprint in the hybrid cloud environment, generate a first model including first relationships of a first plurality of resources corresponding to the blueprint, the blueprint including a plurality of properties in which at least one of the plurality of properties is agnostic of type of cloud, an inventor model determiner to generate a second model including second relationships of a second plurality of resources as deployed in the hybrid cloud environment based on the blueprint, and a drift determiner to determine a drift value based on the first relationships and the second relationships, the drift value representative of a difference between the first relationships and the second relationships.
