1. A distributed computing system, comprising:

  • a plurality of compute nodes for providing resources to users; and

    a hierarchy of two or more layers of controllers coupling the plurality of compute nodes to a user interface via a control plane;

    wherein at least one compute node receives a local application program interface (API) call from code executing on the at least one compute node, the local API call causing the at least one compute node to configure a local resource without requiring commands from the control plane, the local API call being within parameters specified in a model, the parameters defining limits as to which local decisions are allowed.
