In accordance with an embodiment, the system include a job manager that manages the execution of jobs within the cloud environment including their job states. A job manager service provides an application program interface which receives administrative commands to be processed within the cloud environment as jobs. The job manager updates a job registry, including registering instances of the administrative commands together with unique job identifiers, and returning the job identifiers so that a user can retrieve command process status, and the result of the job can be stored in the job registry. For example, the job manager can perform housekeeping tasks, such as purging jobs according to a retention policy, performing any necessary cleanup, and performing security checks to ensure tasks are authorized.
