Methods and apparatus to deploy a hybrid workload domain

An apparatus comprising:

• means for managing physical hardware resources of a physical rack based on interfacing with the physical rack;
• and
• means for generating to:
• generate a virtual server rack based on the physical hardware resources of the physical rack, the virtual server rack including virtual resources corresponding to an abstraction of the physical hardware resources of the physical rack;
• determine whether a workload domain is to be a hybrid workload domain based on a demand of the workload domain, the demand corresponding to a request for compute resources indicative of physical hardware resources or virtual resources;
• and
• generate the hybrid workload domain to run an application, the hybrid workload domain including the virtual resources and the physical hardware resources.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to at least:

• manage physical hardware resources of a physical rack based on interfacing with the physical rack;
• and
• generate a virtual server rack based on the physical hardware resources of the physical rack, the virtual server rack including virtual resources corresponding to an abstraction of the physical hardware resources of the physical rack;
• determine whether a workload domain is to be a hybrid workload domain based on a demand of the workload domain, the demand corresponding to a request for compute resources indicative of physical hardware resources or virtual resources;
• and
• generate the hybrid workload domain to run an application, the hybrid workload domain including the virtual resources and the physical hardware resources.
