System and method for distributed management of hardware based on intent

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing services provided using data processing systems, the operations comprising:

• obtaining, using a graphical user interface, user input from a user, the user input including information regarding a service of the services to be provided using the data processing systems;
• identifying an explicit intent conveyed by the user input;
• identifying an inferred intent conveyed by the user input;
• making a determination regarding whether the explicit intent and the inferred intent are different;
• in an instance of the determination where the explicit intent and the inferred intent are different:
• initiating performance of an intent resolution action set to obtain a finalized intent for the user, the intent resolution action set comprising at least one action selected from a group of actions consisting of:
• obtaining second user input indicating a response to a question based on the difference,
• obtaining third user input indicating a response to presentation of a simulated environment based on the explicit intent and the inferred intent, and
• obtaining a data package indicating use of a computing environment by the user;
• obtaining an intermediate representation based on the finalized intent;
• and
• providing use of the data processing systems to a client using the intermediate representation.

A data processing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing services provided using data processing systems comprising the data processing system,
• the operations comprising:
• obtaining, using a graphical user interface, user input from a user, the user input including information regarding a service of the services to be provided using the data processing systems;
• identifying an explicit intent conveyed by the user input;
• identifying an inferred intent conveyed by the user input;
• making a determination regarding whether the explicit intent and the inferred intent are different;
• in an instance of the determination where the explicit intent and the inferred intent are different:
• initiating performance of an intent resolution action set to obtain a finalized intent for the user, the intent resolution action set comprising at least one action selected from a group of actions consisting of:
