US Patent 11474872 Techniques for managing long-running tasks with a declarative provisioner

Techniques for implementing an infrastructure orchestration service are described. In some examples, a declarative provisioner of the infrastructure orchestration service receives instructions for deployment of a resource. The declarative provisioner identifies that the deployment of the resource is a long-running task stores state information corresponding to the deployment of the resource. In certain embodiments, upon identifying that the deployment of the resource is a long-running task, the declarative provisioner pauses its execution of the long-running task. Responsive to a trigger received from the infrastructure orchestration service, the declarative provisioner resumes execution of the deployment of the resource using the state information and transmits deployment information corresponding to the deployment of the resource to the infrastructure orchestration service.
