Abstract: Example implementations relate to a plugin framework that facilitates management of heterogenous infrastructure resources residing in distributed data centers by multiple resource aggregators (RAs). According to an example, the plugin framework is logically interposed between the RAs and the heterogeneous infrastructure resources. The plugin framework includes multiple plugins each of which exposes a public API through which the RAs interact with the heterogeneous infrastructure resources. Each of the plugins corresponds to a particular type of resource of the heterogeneous infrastructure resources. Responsive to a first request issued to an RA by a north-bound client to a collection of the heterogeneous infrastructure resources, a plugin receives via its public API a second request including an RA-native message directed to a resource of the collection.

Abstract: Methods and systems for predictive execution of microservices. Execution of an application program interface request may entail execution of a plurality of microservices in a series. An events message may be transmitted to an events queue corresponding to the API request. The message may be based on an operating status of one or more microservices. Based on the events message, one or more of the microservices in the series may be configured to perform early execution steps before receiving an internal message from a previous microservice in the series. Such early execution steps may comprise authenticating a user and/or a microservice, retrieving and/or caching data, or the like. The one or more of the microservices may perform subsequent execution steps after receiving an internal message from a previous microservice in the series.
