Smart infrastructure orchestration and management

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 by data processing systems using a management system, the operations comprising:

• obtaining a request to provision a service for an infrastructure boundary containing one or more of the data processing systems;
• in response to obtaining the request, obtaining first workflow data stored in a workflow repository, wherein the first workflow data comprises a workflow previously implemented by other ones of the data processing systems associated with other infrastructure boundaries different from the infrastructure boundary to provision existing services running in the other infrastructure boundaries prior to the provisioning of the service by the infrastructure boundary;
• generating service provisioning instructions using the first workflow data;
• and
• transmitting the service provisioning instructions to the one or more of the data processing systems of the infrastructure boundary to cause the one or more of the data processing systems to initiate provisioning of the service.

A management 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 by data processing systems using the management system, the operations comprising:
• obtaining a request to provision a service for an infrastructure boundary containing one or more of the data processing systems;
• in response to obtaining the request, obtaining first workflow data stored in a workflow repository, wherein the first workflow data comprises a workflow previously implemented by other ones of the data processing systems associated with other infrastructure boundaries different from the infrastructure boundary to provision existing services running in the other infrastructure boundaries prior to the provisioning of the service by the infrastructure boundary;
• generating service provisioning instructions using the first workflow data;
• and
• transmitting the service provisioning instructions to the one or more of the data processing systems of the infrastructure boundary to cause the one or more of the data processing systems to initiate provisioning of the service.
