ABSTRACT:
A method for providing change management in a distributed system is provided. The method includes compiling a policy for change management in the distributed system, the policy includes at least one policy rule based on an event-condition-action (ECA) framework with a pre-condition and a post-condition to an action in the policy rule, wherein the pre-condition is separate from a condition of the policy rule and indicates a prior condition in the distributed system that enables the action, and the post-condition indicates a subsequent condition in the distributed system that results from the action; receiving at least one event indicating a change in the distributed system; determining that the at least one received event triggers the at least one policy rule; generating a workflow to manage the change in the distributed system based on the at least one triggered policy rule; and initiating one or more actuators in the distributed system to dynamically configure or deploy components in the distributed system to execute the workflow.
