Managing concurrently received configuration requests in a computing network

Abstract

Example implementations relate to managing concurrently received configuration requests in a computing network that includes a set of configurable network entities. IN an example, a plurality of configuration requests are received concurrently and a separate database transaction is opened in a configuration database for each received configuration request. A plurality of configuration deltas are identified, each of the plurality of configuration deltas representing a change in a configuration of a network entity of the computing network requested by one of the plurality of received configuration requests. An existing configuration of the network entity is obtained from the configuration database and the existing configuration of the network entity is modified using the identified configuration deltas to generate a provisioning request for the network entity. The provisioning request is issued to the network entity to implement the changes in the configuration of the network entity requested by the received configuration requests, and following successful completion of the provisioning request by the network entity, the database transaction for each received configuration request is committed.
