Abstract: Example methods are provided to deploy an Internet of Things (IoT) solution in a hybrid environment. The methods include deploying a first agent application on a first edge gateway of a first vendor by the first edge gateway. The first agent application is configured to collect a first set of information associated with the first edge gateway. The methods include deploying a second agent application on a second edge gateway of a second vendor by the second edge gateway. The second agent application is configured to collect a second set of information associated with the second edge gateway. In response to a determination of a first virtualized computing environment on the first edge gateway or a second virtualized computing environment on the second edge gateway fulfils a first requirement of a template to deploy the IoT solution, the methods include deploying the IoT solution in the first virtualized computing environment, the second virtualized computing environment, or both.

Abstract: Example methods are provided to perform an operation associated with a first host to manage a virtualized computing environment. One example method includes generating, by the management entity, a first set of infrastructure data metrics of the first host, wherein the first host is supported by infrastructure elements having a set of infrastructure constraints. The method also includes querying the first host to obtain an identification of the first host, associating the first host with the first set of infrastructure data metrics based on the identification, and determining whether a first infrastructure constraint of a first infrastructure element from the set of infrastructure constraints has been reached before performing the operation to manage the virtualized computing environment.

Abstract: System and methods for creating and configuring virtual machines (VMs) are provided. The method may include receiving, a first VM configuration and a second VM configuration. The second VM configuration is related to the first VM configuration. The method may include creating a first plurality of VMs in a first VM group based on the first VM configuration and creating a second plurality of VMs in the first VM group based on the second VM configuration. The method may further include applying the affinity rule in the first VM configuration to the first plurality of VMs and the second plurality of VMs. The method may further include configuring the first plurality of VMs based on the set of VM services in the first VM configuration and the second plurality of VMs based on the set of VM services in the second VM configuration.
