Abstract: Example apparatus disclosed includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to generate a local state for a first resource, the first resource obtained from a cloud service model associated with a registered cloud account, the first resource including a first identifier; identify a second resource from the cloud service model, the second resource including a second identifier; and catalog the second resource when the second identifier is different from the first identifier.

Abstract: An asynchronous mechanism for processing synchronous operation flows is described herein. One example method includes receiving a request from an orchestrator engine to determine a state of a cloud resource of a cloud automation platform, propagating the request to the cloud automation platform, caching a task identifier received from the cloud automation platform responsive to the request, receiving data indicative of the state of the cloud resource from the cloud automation platform wherein the data is associated with the task identifier, and providing the data to the orchestrator engine.
