1. A computer-implemented method for implementing a resource dependent workflow, the computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, from a workflow controller computing device, a workflow comprising at least one workflow stage dependent on access to at least one of a plurality of computing resources, wherein access to individual computing resources of the plurality of computing resources is managed by associated individual resource control computing devices monitoring use of respective computing resources; determining at least one computing resource on which implementation of the at least one workflow stage is dependent; requesting, from a resource control computing device associated with the at least one computing resource, authorization to access the at least one computing resource; receiving from the resource control computing device associated with the at least one computing resource an indication that access to the at least one computing resource is denied, wherein the resource control computing device associated with the at least one computing resource denies access to the at least one computing resource based at least partly on a capacity of the at least one computing resource for processing the at least one workflow stage, and wherein the indication that access to the at least one computing resource is denied further instructs the workflow controller computing device to periodically transmit a status identifier; and for each time period within a set of time periods, transmitting the status identifier indicating that the computing device implementing the method is awaiting authorization to access the at least one computing resource.
