In some examples, the management endpoint interface 630 periodically polls and/or otherwise requests instructions from the management endpoint 340. However, any other periodic and/or aperiodic approach to requesting an indication of an instruction from the management endpoint 340 may additionally or alternatively be used such as, polling the management endpoint 340 when resources of the component server 330 are idle, polling the management endpoint 340 in response to completion of execution of a prior instruction, etc. In some examples, the example management endpoint interface 630 may subscribe to indications of instructions from the management endpoint 340 such that the management endpoint 340 contacts the management endpoint interface 630 via the subscription connection to inform the management agent 350 of the instruction for execution. Such an approach may be implemented using a REST subscription interface. However, any other type of subscription interface may additionally or alternatively be used.
