1. A method for bringing-up a computing cluster on a public cloud infrastructure, comprising:
transmitting, to a public cloud infrastructure selected from among a plurality of public cloud infrastructures, an intent-based instruction codifying an expressed intent for bringing-up a computing cluster on the public cloud infrastructure, wherein
the expressed intent comprises a high level description of a configuration for the computing cluster; and
bringing up the computing cluster at least by dispatching a bring-up operation to the public cloud infrastructure responsive to an electronic message from the public cloud infrastructure, wherein
receipt of the electronic message invokes execution of a bring-up protocol corresponding to the public cloud infrastructure to bring up the computing cluster.
