    Abstract: The current document is directed to an infrastructure-as-code (“IaC”) cloud-infrastructure-management service or system that allows users and upstream management systems to define and deploy infrastructure, such as virtual networks, virtual machines, load balancers, and connection topologies, within cloud-computing systems. The IaC cloud-infrastructure-management service or system includes a service frontend, a task manager, an event-processing component, and multiple Idem-service workers. The task manager manages execution of commands and requests received from the service frontend, using multiple queues, provides for prioritization of command-and-request execution by the multiple Idem-service workers, and provides for preemption of long-running executing commands and requests. The IaC cloud-infrastructure-management service or system enforces specified states of the cloud infrastructure using enforced-state identifiers and enforced-state versions supplied in state commands and enforce requests.

    Abstract: Drift is automatically detected in configuration of services running in a management appliance of a software-defined data center. A method of automatically detecting drift includes: in response to a notification of a change in a configuration of a first service enabled for proactive drift detection, transmitting a first request to compute drift in the configuration of the first service to a plug-in of the first service, the first request including the change in the configuration of the first service; periodically, at designated time intervals, transmitting a second request to compute drift in the configuration of a second service enabled for passive drift detection, to the plug-in of the second service, the second request including a current state of the configuration of the second service; and notifying a desired state management service of the computed drift in the configuration of the first and second services.

    Abstract: A method of managing configurations of SDDCs of a tenant includes the steps of: retrieving a base configuration document, a first supplemental configuration document of a first SDDC, and a second supplemental configuration document of a second SDDC; issuing, to the first SDDC, a first instruction to update a running configuration state thereof according to the base configuration document and the first supplemental configuration document; and issuing, to the second SDDC, a second instruction to update a running configuration state thereof according to the base configuration document and the second supplemental configuration document, wherein the base configuration document includes settings of first configuration properties common across all of the tenant's SDDCs, the first supplemental configuration document includes first settings of second configuration properties only applicable to the first SDDC, and the second supplemental configuration document includes second settings of the second configuration properties only applicable to the second SDDC.
