Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. The examples disclosed herein provide a system to manage cloud provider sessions. The system includes a session manger to establish a session using credentials associated with a cloud provider in response to detecting a request to establish the session with the cloud provider and to record a lifespan of a session token associated with the session. When the lifespan of the session token meets a threshold value, the session manager is to use the credentials to obtain a new session token to refresh the session. The system additionally includes a cloud provider adapter to, in response to detecting an action selection associated with a device, call the cloud provider to execute the action.
