Abstract
Methods and apparatus to perform a workflow in a software defined data center are disclosed herein. An example software defined data center includes a first workflow engine associated with a first processor to execute a workflow and to generate status information identifying the status of tasks included in the workflow and further includes a status tracker associated with a second processor. The status tracker collects and stores the status information. Additionally, the software defined data center includes a monitor to generate a signal when the first processor is no longer operational, and a second workflow engine associated with a third processor. The second workflow engine begins executing the workflow in response to the signal from the monitor based on status information collected and stored by the status tracker.
