Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a centralized workflow management system (CWMS) and a method for managing the deployment and migration of virtual computing instances along a manufacturing line. The manufacturing line hosts a plurality of computing devices such as a first computing device and a second computing device to control operations performed by respective machines. To manufacture a first product, a first orchestration manager hosted in the CWMS deploys a first virtualized computing instance on the first computing device associated with a first stage of a first product manufacturing workflow. Further, upon the first product completing the first stage of the first product manufacturing workflow, the first orchestration manager migrates the first virtualized computing instance from the first computing device to a second computing device associated with a second stage of the first product manufacturing workflow.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to testing a cloud service. An example implementation includes creating cloud service resources. The resources may include a system node and a cloud application programming interface (API) for accessing the system node. Workloads of different types may be generated on the deployed cloud service according to workload parameters. In an example, the different workload types may include data workloads on the system nodes to consume computational resources of a computational resource pool assignable by the cloud service. In an example, the different workload types may include application programming interface calls to interface with cloud APIs of the cloud service.
