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.

Systems and methods for task processing in a distributed environment

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.

Methods and apparatus to manage cloud provider sessions

The present disclosure is related to managing virtual computing instances and physical servers. An example machine-readable medium may store instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computer system to provide an application program interface (API) that provides a user with an ability to manage a virtual computing instance (VCI) deployed on a hypervisor and provisioned by a pool of physical computing resources and manage a physical server.

Managing virtual computing instances and physical servers

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.

Method and apparatus to perform user authentication during cloud provider sessions

The current document is directed to aggregation of computers into distributed computing systems and, in particular, to methods and systems that simulate computer-system aggregations to test computer-system-aggregation management subsystems. In a described implementation, a host-gateway appliance is modified to simulate host-server-computer responses to management commands and requests. In this implementation, a replicated and modified management-server database is used both by a management server under test as well as by the modified host-gateway appliance.
