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 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

Disclosed are various embodiments for the automatic generation of configurations for Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints. At least one metric is collected for an Internet of Things (IoT) endpoint. Then, a function that generates configuration data for the IoT endpoint is invoked. In some instances, the at least one metric is supplied as an argument for the IoT endpoint. The configuration data is received as a result of the function. A device campaign is then created to apply the configuration data to the IoT endpoint. The IoT endpoint can then be assigned to the device campaign.

Automatic generation of configurations for IoT endpoints

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.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for automatic database failover in a master-replica replication configuration are disclosed. An example node within a database system having a plurality of nodes, includes an agent to select a first database operated at one of the plurality of nodes to function as a master database in a master-replica replication configuration. The agent is to cause the selected database to be configured as the master database. The agent is to configure a first reverse proxy of the node. The first reverse proxy is to receive a query from a load balancer and forward the query to the master database based on the configuration.
