Abstract
A method and system for processing concurrent events in a provisional network that comprises a plurality of dynamically allocatable nodes. Specifically, the method includes receiving notification of an event associated with a node in the provisional network. The event requires processing a new lifecycle operation to update a status of the node in the provisional network. Then, it is determined whether the node is locked for processing an active lifecycle operation that is associated with a concurrent event for the node. Processing of the new lifecycle operation is suspended until the active lifecycle operation has terminated, if the node is locked. The lock is maintained on the node after the active lifecycle operation has terminated. Thereafter, the new lifecycle operation is processed when the active lifecycle operation has terminated.
