1. A method, in an information handling system comprising a processor and a memory, of providing a high availability (HA) cloud environment, the method comprising: establishing an active cloud environment in a first cloud computing environment using a primary set of resources; establishing a passive cloud environment in a second cloud computing environment, wherein the passive cloud environment uses a secondary set of resources that are less than the primary set of resources and not part of the first cloud computing environment; servicing a workload by the active cloud environment; while servicing the workload: processing one or more cloud commands by the first cloud computing environment that alter the primary set of resources of the active cloud environment; storing the one or more cloud commands in a queue; processing at least a selected one of the one or more cloud commands by the second cloud computing environment that alters the secondary set of resources of the passive cloud environment, wherein the passive cloud environment is altered to a lesser extent than the active cloud environment when the first cloud computing environment processes the selected cloud command; and adjusting the selected cloud command stored in the queue based upon an amount that the secondary set of resources was altered; and in response to detecting a failure of the active cloud environment: servicing the workload by the passive cloud environment in the second cloud computing environment; and altering the secondary set of resources used by the passive cloud environment based on the one or more cloud commands stored in the queue, wherein the altering comprises scaling the secondary set of resources to accommodate the servicing of the workload.
