Abstract
An example method of extending a cloud director configured to manage a cloud computing system includes: receiving requests to register external services with the cloud director; generating phase associations between the external services and an extensible phase of a workflow of the cloud director; executing the workflow of the cloud director and, in response to reaching the extensible phase, determining an execution order for at least one of the phase associations; and sending a message from the cloud director to each external service of the at least one phase association based on the execution order.
