    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for task processing in a distributed environment are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes a task manager and a task dispatcher. The example task manager is to receive a task and create an execution context for the task, the execution context to associate the task with a routine for task execution. The example task dispatcher is to receive a report of task execution progress and provide an update regarding task execution progress, the task dispatcher, upon initiation of task execution, to facilitate blocking of interaction with a resource involved in the task execution. The example task dispatcher is to trigger an indication of task execution progress and, upon task finish, facilitate unblocking of the resource involved in the task execution.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to deploying a distributed system using operating system or container virtualization. An example apparatus includes a management container including a configuration manager and a container manager. The example configuration manager to is receive an instruction for a desired deployment state and is to apply a first change to a first current deployment state of the management container based on the desired deployment state. The example container manager is to apply a second change to a second current deployment state of a deployed container based on the desired deployment state. The container manager is to return information indicative of the desired deployment state to the configuration manager when the second change from the second current deployment state to the desired deployment state is achieved.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to publish internal commands as a programming interface in a cloud infrastructure are provided. An example apparatus includes a first virtual appliance including a management endpoint to coordinate task execution in a computing platform. The example apparatus includes a computing infrastructure interface including a programming interface, the programming interface to expose a subset of commands for the computing platform and to hide a remainder of the commands of the computing platform from a requester, the requester to execute a first command from the subset of commands via the programming interface. The management endpoint is to parse a first execution task generated from selection of the first command via the programming interface to determine a component of the computing platform to execute the first command associated with the first execution task and to route the first command from the first execution task to the component for execution.

    Abstract: Persistent connections are provided between components in a container environment. A hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) client may include a monitoring service and a proxy service. To obtain information regarding containers in the container environment, the monitoring service communicates a request to the proxy service. The proxy service in turn maintains a persistent connection for a session with a container management service using an authentication token, and communicates the request to the container management service during the session. The container management service obtains the requested information from the container(s) and returns the information in a response to the proxy service, which in turn returns the response to the monitoring service. The session is destroyed/ended only under certain error conditions—otherwise, the session between the proxy service and the container management system is kept persistent.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to propagate an update between nodes in a distributed environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first virtual appliance configured to install an update using an update file from a first update repository, the first update repository located apart from the first virtual appliance, the first virtual appliance configured to form a second update repository at the first virtual appliance, the second update repository to include a copy of the update file from the first update repository. The example apparatus also includes a second virtual appliance, the second virtual appliance formed as a replica of the first virtual appliance, the second virtual appliance to install the update using the copy of the update file from the second update repository.
