Abstract: Services associated with first and second nodes are managed. As part of the management, the first node receives a request to modify the services. A synchronization policy is identified. The synchronization policy requires that modifications attempted on the set of services on the first node also be attempted on the second node. In response to the request, an attempt is made to modify the set of services on the first node. Further, in response to the request and pursuant to the synchronization policy, the second node is caused to attempt to modify the set of services. The synchronization policy is identified as a relaxed synchronization policy. A determination is made that the attempt to modify the set of services on the second node failed. Based on identifying that the synchronization policy is a relaxed synchronization policy, the attempt to modify the set of services on the first node continues.
