Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; first instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the first instructions to manage an instruction queue. The instruction queue includes indications of second instructions to be executed at a component server. The processor circuitry is to add a first indication of a corresponding one of the second instructions to the instruction queue. The first indication is to identify: (1) a location of the second instruction and (2) a format of the second instruction. In response to a second indication that the second instruction has been executed, the processor circuitry is to remove the first indication from the instruction queue.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes accessing, by executing an instruction with a processor implementing a management agent within a deployment environment, an indication of an instruction to be executed, the indication of the instruction to be executed provided by a management endpoint operated at a virtual appliance within the deployment environment. The instruction is retrieved from a repository. The repository is identified by the indication of the instruction to be executed. An instruction executor is directed to execute the instruction. The instruction is to cause the instruction executor to install an update to the management agent.
