An apparatus in one example comprises a first manager component that performs one or more first management operations on a software and/or hardware entity and a second manager component that performs one or more second management operations on the software and/or hardware entity.

First and second manager components that perform one or more first and second management operations on a software and/or hardware entity

An apparatus in one example comprises a manager component for a distributed software application that based on one or more of a characteristic of an executable of the distributed software application and/or a characteristic of one or more of a plurality of processors, selects a processor from the plurality of processors to run the executable upon startup of the distributed software application.

Selecting a processor to run an executable of a distributed software application upon startup of the distributed software application

A manager component of an apparatus in one example initializes a plurality of software components of a distributed software application, within one or more executables, in an ordered sequence based on one or more dependency relationships among the plurality of software components.

Software component initialization in an ordered sequence

An apparatus in one example comprises a manager component in communication with a distributed software application. The distributed software application comprises a plurality of software components that run within one or more executables. The manager component shuts down the plurality of software components in an ordered sequence based on one or more dependency relationships among the plurality of software components.

Shutting down a plurality of software components in an ordered sequence

A distributed software application comprises a plurality of software components within a plurality of executables. A manager component for the distributed software application handles: an addition of one or more first resources to the distributed software application on behalf of the distributed software application and/or a removal of one or more second resources from the distributed software application on behalf of the distributed software application.

Manager component resource addition and/or resource removal on behalf of distributed software application

An apparatus in one example comprises a substitute manager component that upon failure of a first manager component, obtains management responsibility for a distributed software application from the first manager component and queries one or more software components of the distributed software application for state information of the one or more software components. The substitute manager component employs the state information to determine whether one or more recovery actions are needed for the distributed software application to recover from the failure of the first manager component.

Substitute manager component that obtains state information of one or more software components upon failure of a first manager component

A distributed software application comprises a plurality of software components within a plurality of executables. A manager component for the distributed software application performs a recovery of two or more software components, of the plurality of software components, in an ordered sequence based on one or more dependency relationships among the plurality of software components.
