Abstract
Cloud agnostic task scheduling is disclosed. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a configuration request for configuring a virtual service in a cloud environment. In response to a pre-specified event, one or more objects that are operated on by the configuration request is identified. The method determines whether the request can be processed based at least in part on a list of pending tasks. In response to a determination that the request can be processed, the method derives one or more end states for the one or more objects that are identified. The method converts the request to a set of one or more tasks operating on the one or more objects, identifies tasks in the list of pending tasks that are combinable, combines the identified tasks into a combined task that would result in the one or more end states, and sends the combined task to be executed.
