Configuration propagation deployment policy

A system for propagating network configuration changes in a distributed computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory including instructions, that upon being executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a configuration propagation instruction from a client;
• receive a network configuration change request from the client;
• generate a first command instruction that instructs a plurality of network devices of the distributed computing system to change state from a first state to a second state, the second state corresponding with a network configuration contained in the network configuration change request;
• and
• transmit the first command instruction to at least some of the plurality of network devices at a rate provided by the configuration propagation instruction.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a programming interface of a distributed computing system, a configuration propagation instruction from a client;
• receiving, by the programming interface, from the client a first network configuration change request that requests a change to a first network configuration of a first plurality of network devices of a distributed computing system;
• generating, by command instruction generation logic, a first command instruction that instructs the first plurality of network devices to change from a first state to a second state, the second state corresponding with the first network configuration;
• and
• transmitting the first command instruction to at least some of the first plurality of network devices at a first rate provided by the configuration propagation instruction.
