Abstract
Methods and apparatus to manage virtual machines are disclosed. An example method includes determining that a deployment of a first virtual machine has halted because the first virtual machine is dependent on a parameter of a second virtual machine, detecting that the second virtual machine has been deployed and has caused configuration information to be stored in a repository, retrieving, via a processor, the configuration information, including the parameter, from the repository, and transmitting, via the processor, the parameter to the first virtual machine to cause the first virtual machine to resume deployment.
