# Asynchronous work and polling

Provisioning, power and image operations run in the background. Poll `GET /cloud/servers/{id}`:
the server is ready when `status` is `active` and `live.power_state` is `running`;
while `live.locked` is true, writes return `409 server_locked`. Live state is cached for 15 seconds —
poll every 5–10 seconds, not faster.
