Abstract: An example method of managing virtualized computing resources provided by a public cloud includes: grouping subscriptions in the public cloud into reservations, each of the reservations including constraints on virtualized computing resources provided by at least one of the subscriptions; allocating the reservations among a plurality of principals; receiving a request to provision a workload from a user associated with a first principal of the plurality of principals, wherein the workload includes metadata describing constraints of the workload; generating a deployment plan for the workload based on the metadata therein and at least one of the reservations allocated to the first principal, the deployment plan specifying a first subscription of the subscriptions; and transmitting a deployment.

Abstract: An example method of deploying a workload to a public cloud includes: receiving a request to provision a first workload from a first user, wherein the first workload includes metadata describing constraints; generating a first deployment plan for the first workload based on the metadata thereof. The step of generating comprises identifying a plurality of reservations assigned to the first user, each of the plurality of reservations including computing resources backed by a subscription provided by the public cloud; and selecting a first reservation from the plurality of reservations having available computing resources backed by a first subscription provided by the public cloud and satisfying the constraints of the first workload. The method further includes transmitting a deployment request to the public cloud using the first subscription specified in the first deployment plan.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to store machine readable instructions and processor circuitry of a first device to execute the machine readable instructions to cause the processor circuitry based on a request to perform an action having a duration that is unspecified or sufficiently long, obtain a handle for a user token corresponding to a user that requested the action. Additionally, the processor circuitry is to, during performance of the action by a cloud provider, access the user token using the handle when the cloud provider requires user authorization, the user token to be accessed from a second device.

Abstract: A method to implement a cloud application includes receiving a blueprint of the cloud application, wherein the blueprint specifies virtual machines and a network connecting the virtual machines and being isolated from traffic external to the virtual machines. The method further includes automatically selecting a cloud profile specifying a cloud provider and a network isolation strategy and deploying the blueprint with the cloud provider by causing the cloud provider to create the virtual machines, create the network with the network isolation strategy, and attach the virtual machines to the network.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one computer readable medium; and processor circuitry to execute instructions that cause the processor circuitry to: in response to detecting a first request to establish a first session with a cloud provider that is to perform a first action: establish the first session using credentials associated with the cloud provider; record a lifespan of a session token associated with the first session; and transmit the session token to a cloud provider adapter to facilitate communication between the cloud provider adapter and the cloud provider; and in response to detecting a second request to establish a second session with the cloud provider that is to perform a second action, transmit the session token to the cloud provider adapter to facilitate communication between the cloud provider adapter and the cloud provider.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. The examples disclosed herein provide a system to manage cloud provider sessions. The system includes a session manger to establish a session using credentials associated with a cloud provider in response to detecting a request to establish the session with the cloud provider and to record a lifespan of a session token associated with the session. When the lifespan of the session token meets a threshold value, the session manager is to use the credentials to obtain a new session token to refresh the session. The system additionally includes a cloud provider adapter to, in response to detecting an action selection associated with a device, call the cloud provider to execute the action.
