Abstract: A system and method for the centralized management of distributed intermittently connected runtime platforms. The method may include creating an artifact store pre-loaded with a set of utilities, libraries, and artifacts necessary to perform initial infrastructure creation in a local environment, creating an instance infrastructure for a central management system, and creating two or more availability zones, wherein each availability zone includes a private subnet and a public subnet. The method may further include transferring state data necessary to perform infrastructure as code (IaC) automation from the local environment to the artifact store.
