Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a distributed computing system comprising a plurality of compute nodes for providing resources to users and a hierarchy of two or more layers of controllers coupling the compute nodes to a user interface via a control plane, wherein at least one compute node receives a local application program interface (API) call from an application running on the at least one compute node, the local API call causing the at least one compute node to configure a local resource without requiring commands from the control plane.
