Managing state of distributed cloud environment in peer-to-peer network

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a server in a cloud environment, a request to create one or more resources, each of the one or more resources being a document that describes how one or more components of the cloud environment are utilized, the one or more components being software performing operations in the cloud environment;
• generating, at the server, one or more requests containing details of the one or more resources;
• sending the one or more requests from the server to a plurality of nodes in the cloud environment, the plurality of nodes each at least attempting to verify the one or more requests and utilizing a consensus algorithm to collectively determine whether the one or more requests has been verified;
• and
• generating a first block at a first node of the plurality of nodes based on a determination that the one or more requests has been verified by the consensus algorithm, the first block containing the details of the one or more resources.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a server in a cloud environment, a request to create one or more resources, each of the one or more resources being a document that describes how one or more components of the cloud environment are utilized, the one or more components being software performing operations in the cloud environment;
• generating, at the server, one or more requests containing details of the one or more resources;
• sending the one or more requests from the server to a plurality of nodes in the cloud environment, the plurality of nodes each at least attempting to verify the one or more requests and utilizing a consensus algorithm to collectively determine whether the one or more requests has been verified;
• and
• generating a first block at a first node of the plurality of nodes based on a determination that the one or more requests has been verified by the consensus algorithm, the first block containing the details of the one or more resources.
