Abstract

A disclosed example method to aggregate resources in a cloud involves receiving a request for a resource at a first tenant application programming interface provider of an internal cloud service. The example method involves using a virtualization platform application programming interface client of the internal cloud service to access the resource when the resource is an internal resource. When the resource is an external resource, a tenant application programming interface client of the internal cloud service is used to send a second request for the resource to a second tenant application programming interface provider of an external cloud service.
