Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes requesting, by executing an instruction with a processor within a deployment environment, a package supporting execution of a second instruction from a management endpoint, loading, by executing an instruction with the processor, a first component of the package in a command cache, the first component including a third instruction to implement a plugin framework, causing, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second component of the package to be stored in an instruction cache, the instruction cache located outside the deployment environment, the second component including a fourth instruction, and executing the first component from the command cache.

Distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment

Methods and apparatus to reduce application deployment sizes are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a build generator to generate a build profile associated with a virtual appliance in a virtualization environment, the build profile including a plurality of application components including archive files associated with the virtual appliance. The example apparatus also includes a duplicate identifier to determine when a first library and a second library included in the build profile are duplicate libraries, the first library associated with a first filename and a first data portion and the second library associated with a second filename and a second data portion. The example apparatus also includes a duplicate remover to, in response to a determination that the first library and the second library are duplicate libraries, replace the first filename with a hard link to the second data portion to update the build profile.

Methods and apparatus to reduce application deployments sizes

Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes accessing, by executing a first instruction with a processor implementing a management agent within a deployment environment, an indication of a second instruction to be executed, the indication of the second instruction to be executed provided by a management endpoint within the deployment environment. A package supporting execution of the instruction is requested from the management endpoint. A component of the package is loaded into a command cache. The component of the package includes the second instruction to be executed. The command cache is implemented by a plug in framework. The second instruction is executed from the command cache. A result of the execution of the second instruction is collected. The result of the execution of the second instruction is transmitted to the management endpoint.
