Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to provision cloud infrastructure resources in a multi-tenant system using a self-referencing adapter, the apparatus comprising: provisioning circuitry to, in response to a first request from a tenant to access cloud infrastructure resources, determine a type of a cloud account, cloud provider interface circuitry to, in response to the type of the cloud account being a cloud provider interface type, access service-provider-credentials, the cloud provider interface circuitry to: retrieve a first access token based on the service-provider-credentials, submit a second request for the cloud infrastructure resources to a first cloud provider, the second request corresponding to the tenant impersonating the service provider based on the first access token.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for governance of virtual computing infrastructure resources are disclosed. An example cloud management system includes a plurality of hosts. The hosts are to manage requests and allocate resources through one or more virtual machines. The example system also includes an administrator to configure the plurality of hosts to accommodate resource provisioning requests by assigning a constraint and a skill to the hosts to define a placement of the hosts. The placement of a respective host is to dictate an availability of the host for provisioning.

Abstract: An example method for reserving resources in a multi-cloud environment may include receiving, by a reservation broker executing in the multi-cloud environment, a first client request to reserve a first cloud resource in a plurality of clouds. The plurality of clouds includes a corresponding plurality of cloud brokers. The method may include selecting, by the reservation broker, a first cloud broker from the plurality of cloud brokers based on a first reservation type associated with the first cloud resource. The first cloud broker corresponds to a first cloud selected from the plurality of clouds. The method may also include transmitting, by the reservation broker, a first reservation request to the first cloud broker. The first cloud broker is configured to reserve the first cloud resource in the first cloud based on the first reservation request.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to customize deployment are disclosed. An example deployment customization manager can generate a first notification payload including an uncustomized application component property of an application component that provides a logical template of an application. A deployment event broker can reply back to the deployment customization manager with another payload that includes a customized or modified application component property.
