Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, methods, and processes for configuring network devices in an on-premises data center from a cloud-based controller using a workflow-based approach. A user can design a network, and can create tasks related to the network configuration. A cloud-based network controller may translate a task into a workflow including one or more actions, and may cause the actions to be executed on the devices according to the workflow. The network devices may then provide feedback about any failed configurations. The network devices can also wait for further instructions from the cloud-based network controller. The network configuration tasks can include, by way of non-limiting examples, creating or deleting a virtual network, or adding or removing hosts from a virtual network. The approach may bring about consistent and error-free configurations, maintain uninterrupted connectivity with the cloud controller by the network devices, and quickly address issues with the configuration.
