Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for monitoring cloud-runtime operations. Embodiments of the invention include an infrastructure for initiating and monitoring (e.g., asynchronous) cloud-runtime operations. In some embodiments, cloud-runtime operations are included in a sequence of operations (e.g., in a workflow) for deploying or purging cloud based resources for a customer premises. Accordingly, monitored operations include creating cloud deployments, growing cloud deployments, shrinking cloud deployments, and deleting cloud deployments. Cloud deployments can be reliably deleted when a workflow is aborted, to prevent accrual of unexpected charges.
