Abstract
Systems for managing a distributed computing system. A method embodiment commences upon receiving user-provided specification parameters that describe a target state of a computing entity. After generating a set of resource management commands to achieve the specified target state of a computing entity, the resource management commands are scheduled for execution. As execution of the resource management commands is being carried out, the execution status of the resource management commands is continuously monitored. If performance of the resource management commands raises an error and/or the resource entity state is different than predicted, a set of remediation actions are determined, and an additional set of processing operations are invoked to accomplish the remediation actions. When all resource management commands and/or any remediation actions have completed successfully, the target resource entity state has been achieved. The user did not need to write executable code to perform steps that pursue the target state.
