Transactions in a decentralized control plane of a computing system

A computer system, comprising:

• a hardware platform having a processor and memory;
• a software platform executing on the hardware platform;
• a service host process executing within the software platform, the service host process including a framework that controls access to a plurality of services, the service host process configured to:
• receive, from a client, a plurality of first requests for at least one target service of the plurality of services, each of the plurality of first requests including a transaction indicator identifying the transaction;
• execute at least one handler of the at least one target service to process the plurality of first requests;
• receive, from the client, a commit request for the transaction coordinator service, the commit request including an instruction to commit the transaction;
• and
• execute a handler of the transaction coordinator service to process the commit request and notify the at least one target service of a status of the commit request.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed in a computer system, causes the computer system to carry out a method of managing a transaction in a control plane executing on a computing system that manages a plurality of services, the method comprising:

• receiving, at the control plane from a client, a plurality of first requests for at least one target service of the plurality of services, each of the plurality of first requests including a transaction indicator identifying the transaction;
• executing at least one handler of the at least one target service to process the plurality of first requests;
• receiving, at the control plane from the client, a commit request for the transaction coordinator service, the commit request including an instruction to commit the transaction;
• and
• executing a handler of the transaction coordinator service to process the commit request and notify the at least one target service of a status of the commit request.
