Methods and apparatus to manage configuration of policy-based hypervisors are disclosed. An example method includes generating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a specification for a target configuration of a host based on a policy-based profile, the policy-based profile describing a source configuration of a source host at a virtualization software level; applying, by executing an instruction with the processor, the specification to the target configuration; and in response to an update to the policy-based profile, updating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the target configuration to place the host in compliance with the updated policy-based profile.

Policy-based hypervisor configuration management

At least one target configuration of a host at a virtualization software level is automatically assembled based on a source configuration. A policy-based profile describing the source configuration is processed. A configuration specification describing the target configuration is automatically created, based on the policy-based profile describing the source configuration. The configuration specification is automatically applied to target configurations, such that the target configurations are compliant with the policy-based profile.
