Any retries that may be needed are specified during the creation of the respective object in the list above. Use a get request to retrieve information about the current state of your operation.

For example, after you run a terminate a cloud server operation, a 202 response is returned to indicate that the cloud server termination has begun. Subsequently run a Get a cloud server operation for the cloud server in question, to see its current status. The status is terminating until it is complete at which point the Get a cloud server operation shows a terminated status.
