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

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:

• determine whether a first provisioning request includes an indication that a cloud resource is to be partially provisioned;
• determine whether the first provisioning request includes a satisfactory blueprint based on content of the first provisioning request;
• in response to the first provisioning request not including a satisfactory blueprint, include the indication in a first resource request;
• select the cloud resource based on the indication;
• transmit the first resource request to partially provision the cloud resource;
• when the cloud resource is partially provisioned, transmit a response to obtain a second request including constraints specific to the cloud resource;
• and
• in response to obtaining the second request, transmit a second resource request to fully provision the cloud resource.

A method to implement cloud specific functionality in a cloud agnostic system, the method comprising:

• determining whether a first provisioning request includes an indication that a cloud resource is to be partially provisioned;
• determining whether the first provisioning request includes a satisfactory blueprint based on content of the first provisioning request;
• and
• in response to the first provisioning request not including a satisfactory blueprint, including the indication in a first resource request;
• selecting the cloud resource based on the indication;
• transmitting the first resource request to partially provision the cloud resource;
• when the cloud resource is partially provisioned, transmitting a response to obtain a second provisioning request including constraints specific to the cloud resource;
• and
• in response to obtaining the second provisioning request, transmitting a second resource request to fully provision the cloud resource.
