Abstract: Systems and methods described herein related to real-time management of service deployment systems are disclosed. A management system may monitor an infrastructure environment repository in real-time. Differences in configurations stored within the repository may be identified and used to generate configuration data. The configuration data may be used to update service operating parameters and service deployment configurations. The configuration data may be used to generate deployment data comprising location information of the updated infrastructure environment. The deployment data may be utilized to deploy one or more services on an updated infrastructure using the updated services.

Abstract: A provider network implements service discovery and renaming. A provider network includes a domain name service (DNS) and a renaming tool. The DNS receives queries for service names and sends query logs to a data store. Each query log indicates the queried name and a network address (e.g., IP address). A user may request that the service be renamed to a new name. In response, the renaming tool adds a new entry to for the new name to the DNS. The renaming tool retrieves data from the query logs and identifies clients of the service. The renaming tool sends a notification to the identified clients that the name has changed to the new name. The renaming manger retrieves additional data from the query logs to identify how many of the clients have switched to using the new name. After enough clients have switched, the old name may be decommissioned.

Abstract: A first device can receive a delegation message from a second device. The delegation message can include a trigger data object that defines a triggered action set including a triggering event and an action to be performed by an accessory device in response to the triggering event. The first device can perform consistency checking of the received trigger data object relative to one or more previously received trigger data objects to determine whether a conflict exists.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed to serve client requests in a communication network. In one embodiment, a method may be performed by a controller device to form a first consensus with a first plurality of controller devices to determine a role for the controller device.
