Abstract
In one example, a network device detects when a deployment request for the network device from a network controller is stored in a directory corresponding to the network device. Deployment information is stored as a value of a first key in the directory and includes information to configure the network device to attain a set of goals. The network device retrieves the deployment information from the directory. The network device is configured to attain the set of goals by the network device applying the retrieved deployment information. The network device generates one or more status notifications indicating a status of configuring the network device, and stores the one or more status notifications as a value of a second key in the directory to indicate the status to the network controller.
