Abstract

A system may implement maintaining control plane data versions for a network-based service control plane. Various control plane actions may be performed which create new versions of control plane data that may be maintained for the control plane in a database. Some of these actions may be performed by multiple actors creating new versions of the same control plane data. For a particular control plane action, a new version number may be obtained to include in a new version of control plane data, and a conditional write request may be performed to insert the new version of control plane data at the database as part of an optimistic concurrency technique in order to maintain consistency for control plane data.
