Abstract
Methods and apparatus to scale in and/or scale out arbitrary resources managed by a cloud automation system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry; and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to: in response to an indication to scale a first component of an application to be deployed: determine an execution plan to scale the first component based on a dependency graph corresponding to a dependency within a blueprint specifying a logical topology of the application; perform a custom action to scale the first component, the custom action identified in a scaling parameter associated with the application; and update operation of a second component based on scaling the first component, the second component dependent on the first component, the update to enable the second component to interact with the first component after the scaling.
