This disclosure relates generally to creating and managing cloud infrastructure, and more specifically, integrating one or more cloud infrastructure tools for building cloud infrastructures. An example method includes, receiving a request to deploy a cloud infrastructure on a cloud service provider based on a cloud template of the cloud management platform; transmitting configuration instructions associated with a cloud infrastructure tool to a container orchestration platform for execution on one or more containers running on the container orchestration platform to deploy the cloud infrastructure; receiving a deployment state of the cloud infrastructure on the cloud service provider from the container orchestration platform following execution of the configuration instructions; and reporting a status of the cloud infrastructure based on the deployment state.

Deployment of cloud infrastructures using a cloud management platform

Methods and apparatus to manage and execute action in computing environments are disclosed. An example method includes determining an identifier of a type of a computing resource identified in a received request, processing a set of stored adapters to determine an adapter associated with the identifier, determining an action associated with adapter, and presenting a user interface including a user selectable identification of the action.

Methods and apparatus to manage and execute actions in computing environments based on a routing path

Methods and apparatus to manage and execute action in computing environments are disclosed. An example system includes a virtual machine resource platform to host a virtual compute node and a resource manager to: in response to a user request associated with the virtual compute node: determine a type of the virtual compute node; determine if an installed adapter identifies a type associated with the type of the virtual compute node; and when the adapter identifies the type associated with the type of the virtual compute node, present a user selectable identification of the adapter.

Methods and apparatus to manage and execute actions in computing environments based on a type of virtual compute node

Methods and apparatus to manage and execute action in computing environments are disclosed. An example system includes a virtual machine resource platform to host a virtual compute node; and a resource manager to: install an interface to receive an adapter configured to initiate an action that operates on the virtual compute node, install the adapter by processing an adapter definition to identify an action specified by the adapter, trigger an alert based on collected data associated with the virtual compute node, in response to the alert, trigger the action to be executed using a parameter extracted from the collected data, and execute the action to operate on the compute node.
