Abstract
Methods and systems for managing distributed systems are disclosed. The distributed systems may include any number of data processing systems that may contribute to the functionality of the distributed system. To contribute to the functionality of the distributed system, each of the data processing systems may need to be configured to positively contribute to one or more functions. To manage configuration of data processing system, a distributed control plane may be utilized that vests decision making authority at different levels within a hierarchy. The distributed control plane may utilize an intermediate representation of intent of users and through which flexibility of implementation may be maintained.
