Abstract
An example method of extending a cloud manager configured to manage a public cloud includes: receiving a content package at the cloud manager, the content package including a component entity, the component entity including a resource type entity that represents a resource provided by the public cloud, a user interface (UI) form entity that defines a UI for configuring the resource, and a lifecycle operations logic that extends at least one phase of a workflow of the cloud manager; receiving a request from a user through the UI defined by the UI form entity to create the resource in the public cloud; executing the workflow of the cloud manager in response to the request; and executing the lifecycle operations logic during execution of the workflow.
