Context tracking across a data management platform

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a resource provider service, a request from a client, wherein the resource provider service is in a namespace residing in a cluster of computing nodes implemented by one or more processors;

creating, by the resource provider service, a record in response to the request from the client, wherein the record includes information about the request, a system context for the request, and permission to perform work based on the request;

responding, by the resource provider service, to the client acknowledging the request;

forwarding, by the resource provider service, the request to a first resource provider in the namespace residing in the cluster of computing nodes implemented by the one or more processors;

performing, by the first resource provider, a first task based on the request;

sending, by the first resource provider, information related to the record to a second resource provider in the namespace residing in the cluster of computing nodes implemented by the one or more processors, thereby granting permission to the second resource provider to perform a second task based on the request; and

updating, by the resource provider service, the record after performing the first task.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing, by the resource provider service, in the record a reference to an originator of the request from the client.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

deleting, by the resource provider service, the record in response to a determination that the record has expired and is no longer required for audit purposes.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

archiving, by the resource provider service, the record in response to a determination that the record has expired.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

writing, by the resource provider service, the record to a log to aid in auditing of a system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

filtering, by the resource provider service, visibility of a resource based on the record.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, by the resource provider service, an indication of progress of the task to be completed, wherein the indication of progress includes a reference to the record.

8. A computing device comprising:

a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions for performing a method of managing a lifecycle of a record by a resource provider service;

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:

receive, by a resource provider service, a request from a client, wherein the resource provider service is in a namespace implemented by the processor;

create, by the resource provider service, a record in response to the request from the client, wherein the record corresponds to information about the request from the client;

record, by the resource provider service, a task to be done in response to the request from the client;

perform, by the resource provider, the task after recording the task;

respond, by the resource provider service, to the client acknowledging the request;

send, by the resource provider, information related to the record to a second resource provider in the namespace, thereby granting permission to the second resource provider to perform a second task based on the request;

update, by the resource provider service, the record in response to performing the task; and

determine, by the resource provider service, that the record has expired.

9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

publish, by the resource provider service, the record as a resource provider definition object in an object model service, the resource provider definition object having a label field to define a workspace in which the resource definition object is permitted to operate.

10. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

store, by the resource provider service, in the record a reference to an originator of the request from the client.

11. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

write, by the resource provider service, the record to a log to aid in auditing of a system.

12. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

delete, by the resource provider service, the record in response to the determination that the record has expired and is no longer needed for audit purposes.

13. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

filter, by the resource provider service, visibility of a resource based on the record.

14. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

provide, by the resource provider service, an indication of progress of the task to be completed, wherein the indication of progress includes a reference to the record.

15. A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method of managing a lifecycle of a record by a resource provider service that is in a namespace, comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:

create, by the resource provider service, a record in response to a request from a client, wherein the record corresponds to information about the request from the client, and wherein the record provides a context for system data usable for filtering the system data for use by a first resource provider instance that is in the namespace;

respond, by the resource provider service, to the client acknowledging the request;

record, by the resource provider service, a task to be done in response to the request from the client;

perform, by the first resource provider instance, the task after recording the task;

send, by the first resource provide instance, information related to the record to a second resource provider instance in the namespace; and

determine, by the resource provider service, that the record has expired.

16. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising machine executable code that causes the machine to:

delete, by the resource provider service, the record in response to the determination that the record has expired and is no longer required for audit purposes.

17. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising machine executable code that causes the machine to:

archive, by the resource provider service, the record in response to the determination that the record has expired.

18. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising machine executable code that causes the machine to:

store, by the resource provider service, in the record a reference to an originator of the request from the client.

19. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising machine executable code that causes the machine to:

filter, by the resource provider service, visibility of a resource based on the record.

20. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising machine executable code that causes the machine to:

update, by the resource provider service, the record in response to performing the task.
