Distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment
摘要
說明書
In some examples, the repository from which the management agent retrieves instructions for execution 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.). Such an approach enables an administrator of the deployment environment to easily work with third party software providers (e.g., consultants, PSOs, etc.) that create instructions (e.g., executable files) that may be customized for the deployment environment. In this manner, the administrator can simply direct the management endpoint to cause the management agents to retrieve the instructions from a repository hosted by the third party organization, and execute those instructions. Such an approach alleviates storage needs within the deployment environment. Such an approach also facilitates more rapid development and deployment of instructions.
Although certain example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture have been described herein, the scope of coverage of this patent is not limited thereto. On the contrary, this patent covers all methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture fairly falling within the scope of the claims of this patent.
