In the illustrated example of FIG. 1, a single repository 134 is shown. However, in some examples, multiple repositories located in the same or different locations may be utilized. For example, a first repository may be managed and/or operated by a third party organization (e.g., a professional service organization (PSO)) that manages and/or develops instructions (e.g., develops executable code, develops workflows, etc.) for use within the deployment environment 112, while a second repository may be managed and/or operated within the deployment environment 112. Using a repository managed and/or operated within the deployment environment enables the administrator 116 to prepare instructions (e.g., batch files, PowerShell? commands, etc.) that can be subsequently distributed to management agents for execution.
As noted above, the repository 134 stores instructions for execution at one or more VMs 114. In some examples, the instructions are PowerShell? commands (e.g., .PS1 files). However, any other type(s) and/or format(s) of instructions may additionally or alternatively be used. For example, the instructions may be executable instructions, archives of executable instructions, installers, batch files, scripts, etc.
