Abstract

Embodiments are directed to automatically controlling network and service quality across datacenters. In one scenario, a computer system identifies portions of work that are to be performed within the datacenter. The computer system creates a request for change (request) in a change management system, where the change management system is configured to store and manage the implementation of requests within the datacenter. Then, upon implementation of the created request, the computer system polls the status of the request to determine whether the portions of work identified in the request can now be performed and, upon determining that the portions of work identified in the request can be performed, the computer system performs the portions of work according to the request. Performance of the specified work according to a request allows for workflows to be controlled based on the request.
