A method for providing an evidence service to facilitate evidence analytic and controls assessment for an enterprise toolchain is disclosed. The method includes compiling raw data via an adapter, the raw data including an event that relates to a software development life cycle; retrieving, from the adapter, the compiled raw data; identifying, by using a model, information that relates to the event from the raw data; extracting the identified information; generating, by using the model, a structured data set based on the extracted information; and determining a controls measurement based on the structured data set.

Method and system for evidence servicing

Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; first instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the first instructions to manage an instruction queue. The instruction queue includes indications of second instructions to be executed at a component server. The processor circuitry is to add a first indication of a corresponding one of the second instructions to the instruction queue. The first indication is to identify: (1) a location of the second instruction and (2) a format of the second instruction. In response to a second indication that the second instruction has been executed, the processor circuitry is to remove the first indication from the instruction queue.

Distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment

Tags are applied to gather information about an application that has been deployed across a plurality of resources, so that application resources can be brought under management and a blueprint for the deployed application can be constructed using information gathered from the tags. A method of identifying resources of a deployed application for management comprises applying tags to currently deployed resources of the application including virtual machines (VMs), storing tag data in association with the VMs to which the tag has been applied in an inventory data store, searching the inventory data store for VMs to which first tags have been applied, wherein the first tags each have tag value that identifies the deployed application, searching the inventory data store for second tags that have been applied to the VMs, and adding the resources identified by the first and second tags to a group of application resources to be managed.

Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes accessing, by executing an instruction with a processor implementing a management agent within a deployment environment, an indication of an instruction to be executed, the indication of the instruction to be executed provided by a management endpoint operated at a virtual appliance within the deployment environment. The instruction is retrieved from a repository. The repository is identified by the indication of the instruction to be executed. An instruction executor is directed to execute the instruction. The instruction is to cause the instruction executor to install an update to the management agent.

A method of updating templates includes maintaining libraries of the templates at a lifecycle management server to track versions and locations of the templates respectively stored in source, development, testing, and production data centers, copying a first template from the source data center to the development data center, storing the first template that has been updated at the development data center in the testing data center and performing unit testing on the updated first template at the testing data center, and upon successful unit testing, copying the updated first template from the development data center to the source data center and releasing the updated first template into production by storing the updated first template in the production data center. The library of the templates indicates the first template, prior to the update, as a first version, and after the update, as a later, second version.

Lifecycle management of virtual compute templates

Methods and apparatus to perform data migration in a distributed cloud management automater are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a source data generator to generate a migration package corresponding to a source cloud management automater; a target cloud management automater migrator to migrate data of the migration package into a target cloud management automater; and performing a schema upgrade of a target database of the target cloud management automater; and a target service upgrader to upgrade service components at the target cloud management automater based on the migration package.
