Abstract
A distributed execution environment provides resources such as computing resources, hardware resources, and software resources. Resource action rules ('rules') may be defined and associated with resources in the distributed execution environment. The rules may be evaluated based upon resource state data defining the state of one or more resources. The results of the evaluation of the rules may be utilized to take various actions. For example, the results of the evaluation of rules may be utilized to generate a user interface (UI) object for providing information regarding the evaluation of the rule, to initiate a workflow, and/or perform another type of action. The results might also be utilized to prohibit certain types of operations from being performed with regard to a resource. The results might be propagated to other resources. A UI might also be provided for use in defining the rules.
