METHODS AND APPARATUS TO SCALE APPLICATION DEPLOYMENTS IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract:

An example apparatus includes means for setting a scaling status of a first virtual machine included in an application deployed in a computing environment, the first virtual machine to execute a first component of the application, means for identifying an information dependency of a second virtual machine on information from the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine to execute a second component of the application, and means for updating the information dependency based on the scaling status of the first virtual machine, the information dependency in the configuration information to include a reference to the first virtual machine.
