Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that acquire server resources at the time of scheduling an automated instance-related task, such as an instance migration task, and prior to starting the automated task (e.g., prior to determining scheduling conflicts, creating a change request, or creating a move context associated with starting the instance migration task). Advantageously, if acquiring the server resources fails, an orchestration server performing the automated task can simply retry acquiring the server resources, thus avoiding restarting the automated task and re-performing steps of the automated task, thus avoiding unnecessary overhead.
