Viral system discovery and installation for distributed networks

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• uploading a network configuration file to a first configuration node and a second configuration node, wherein:
• a first plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a first computing rack in a first subnet of a network;
• a second plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a second computing rack in a second subnet of the network that is different from the first subnet of the network;
• the first plurality of nodes includes the first configuration node;
• the second plurality of nodes includes the second configuration node;
• and
• a proxy data router in the first plurality of nodes forwards the network configuration file from the first subnet to the second configuration node in the second subnet,
• identifying network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes in the network configuration file as being part of the first computing rack;
• updating network configuration for the first plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the first computing rack;
• identifying network configuration information for the second plurality of nodes in the network configuration file as being part of the second computing rack;
• and
• updating network configuration for the second plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the second computing rack.

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory;
• means for uploading a network configuration file to a first configuration node and a second configuration node, wherein:
• a first plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a first computing rack in a first subnet of a network;
• a second plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a second computing rack in a second subnet of the network that is different from the first subnet of the network;
• the first plurality of nodes includes the first configuration node;
• the second plurality of nodes includes the second configuration node;
• and
• a proxy data router in the first plurality of nodes is configured to forward the network configuration file from the first subnet to the second configuration node in the second subnet,
• means for identifying network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes in the network configuration file as being part of the first computing rack;
• means for updating network configuration for the first plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the first computing rack;
• means for identifying network configuration information for the second plurality of nodes in the network configuration file as being part of the second computing rack;
• and
• means for updating network configuration for the second plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the second computing rack.
