Methods and apparatus to implement cloud specific functionality in a cloud agnostic system

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement cloud functionality in a cloud agnostic system. An example apparatus to implement cloud specific functionality in a cloud agnostic system includes a request interpreter to determine whether a first request includes an indication that a cloud resource is to be partially provisioned, a provision determiner to select the cloud resource based on the indication, and a cloud interface to transmit a first resource request to partially provision the cloud resource, and in response to a second request including constraints specific to the cloud resource, transmit a second resource request to fully provision the cloud resource.
