Multi-substrate fault tolerant continuous delivery of datacenter builds on cloud computing platforms

Computing systems, for example, multi-tenant systems deploy software artifacts in data centers created in a cloud platform using a cloud platform infrastructure language that is cloud platform independent. The system uses a control datacenter with a set of service groups used for configuring other datacenters, for example, for performing continuous delivery of software artifacts for other datacenters. The system uses a primary control datacenter and a secondary control datacenter. The primary control datacenter configures infrastructure of the tenant datacenter, for example, by configuring computing resources in the cloud platform for the tenant datacenter according to a declarative specification of the tenant datacenter. The secondary control datacenter efficiently takes control of the process of configuring the tenant datacenter, for example, if there is a failure of the primary control datacenter.
