An example apparatus includes memory and a processor to execute instructions to set a scaling status of a first virtual machine included in an application deployed in a computing environment, the first virtual machine to execute a first component of the application, means for identifying an information dependency of a second virtual machine on information from the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine to execute a second component of the application, and update the information dependency based on the scaling status of the first virtual machine, the information dependency in the configuration information to include a reference to the first virtual machine.

Methods and apparatus to scale application deployments in cloud computing environments

An example apparatus includes a deployment monitor to initiate a modification of a number of virtual machines deployed in the computing environment. The virtual machines including a first virtual machine to execute a first component of an application deployed in the computing environment. A dependents identifier is to identify an information dependency of a second virtual machine on information from the first virtual machine. The second virtual machine is to execute a second component of the application. An updater is to update the information dependency based on a scaling status of the first virtual machine. The information dependency in the configuration information including a reference to the first virtual machine.

Techniques for providing a calendar based provisioning and management for IT administrator/user activities in a virtual datacenter is described. In one example embodiment, an IT task is scheduled as a calendar appointment using an at least one registered calendar application residing in a user device. The at least one registered calendar application is then monitored for the scheduled IT task. The scheduled IT task is then translated into an action/command based on the outcome of the monitoring. The action/command is then issued to manage the scheduled IT task in the datacenter/cloud.

Calendar based management of information technology (IT) tasks

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to scale application deployments in cloud computing environments. An example method disclosed herein includes marking a scaling status of a virtual machine included in a first node deployed in the computing environment, the first node executing a first component of the application, the scaling status of the virtual machine indicating a change in a number of virtual machines included in the first node. The example method also includes identifying a second node including a dependency with the virtual machine, the second node deployed in the computing environment. The example method also includes updating configuration information associated with the second node based on the scaling status of the virtual machine, the configuration information including a reference to the virtual machine.
