Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a centralized API broker for providing services offered by service platforms to users of the cloud platform. The centralized API broker registers multiple service platforms and converts native APIs supported by the service platform to APIs supported by the cloud platform and displays the APIs as catalog items in a service catalog. On selection of a catalog item, the centralized API broker receives a first operation request that is compliant with a first API specification supported by the cloud platform. The centralized API broker converts the first operation request into a second operation request that is compliant with a second API specification supported by the service platform using vendor-specific mapping. The centralized API broker makes an API call to the service platform using the second operation request.

Abstract: Example techniques for pod migration across nodes of a cluster are described. In an example, in response to receiving a request to migrate a pod from a first region of a cloud computing platform to a second region of the cloud computing platform, the pod may be migrated from a first node in the first region to a second node in the second region. The first node and the second node may each be a part of a cluster of nodes.

Abstract: Example techniques of cloud service categorization are described. In an example, presence of a keyword, in metadata of an item, amongst a plurality of items, is determined. Each of the items is representative of a corresponding service hosted by a cloud network in a cloud infrastructure. The metadata is indicative of functional characteristics of a service represented by the item. Based on the keyword and a predefined mapping, the item is grouped in a category, amongst a plurality of categories. The predefined mapping is indicative of a correlation between the plurality of keywords and the plurality of categories. A list of the plurality of categories may be generated, where each of the plurality of items is grouped in a respective category amongst the plurality of categories.

Abstract: An application code updating apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a processor to receive application deployment code defining an application to be deployed in a cloud-computing environment; determine, from the application deployment code, an identity of a cloud-based repository from which to retrieve the application; obtain, from a database, an authentication credential for the identified repository; generate, based on the authentication credential, an access token to provide access to the repository; and update the application deployment code to include the generated access token. A method and a machine-readable medium are also disclosed.

Abstract: Example techniques for updating of container-based applications are described. In an example, a second version of an application code or application code changes are retrieved from a code storage location. Based on the retrieved second version or the retrieved application code changes, an application hosted in a container is updated.

Abstract: Example techniques for chaining of brokered service instances are described. In an example, a chaining instruction to chain a first service instance and a second service instance may be received. The first service instance may be provisioned by a first service broker and the second service instance may be provisioned by a second service broker. In response to the chaining instruction, an output parameter of the first service instance is received. Further, an input parameter is supplied to the second service broker based on the output parameter. The supplying of the input parameter facilitates chaining between the first service instance and the second service instance.
