Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a process comprising:
(a) transmitting to a public cloud infrastructure a first expressed intent for bringing-up a computing cluster on the public cloud infrastructure, wherein an expressed intent comprises a high level description of a desired configuration for the computing cluster;
(b) asynchronously receiving periodic status messages comprising cluster status data from the public cloud infrastructure reflecting a respective current configuration state of the computing cluster;
(c) determining, based on the cluster status data, whether the first expressed intent for the computing cluster has been achieved;
(d) when determining that the first expressed intent has not been achieved, re-transmitting the first expressed intent to the public cloud infrastructure in direct response to a first status message, and repeatedly receiving asynchronous status data until determining that the first expressed intent has been achieved;
(e) when determining that the first expressed intent has been achieved, transmitting a second expressed intent, different than the first expressed intent, to the public cloud infrastructure.
