Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed including a system to manage a cloud deployment, the system comprising: at least one memory; programmable circuitry; and machine readable instructions to cause the programmable circuitry to: create a custom resource corresponding to the cloud deployment, the cloud deployment identifiable by cloud credentials of a cloud environment, the custom resource to include an action identifier; generate an infrastructure-as-data to represent the custom resource corresponding to the cloud deployment, the infrastructure-as-data representation to include the cloud credentials; and provide the infrastructure-as-data to an infrastructure adaptor, the infrastructure-as-data to cause performance of an operation corresponding to the action identifier using the cloud deployment.
