Distributed Computing System Configuration

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• uploading a system-wide network configuration file to a first controller node and a second controller node, wherein a first plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a first computing system rack, a second plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a second computing system rack, the first plurality of nodes includes the first controller node, and the second plurality of nodes includes the second controller node;
• identifying network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes in the system-wide network configuration file as being part of the first computing system rack;
• updating network configuration for the first plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the first computing system rack;
• identifying network configuration information for the second plurality of nodes in the system-wide network configuration file as being part of the second computing system rack;
• and
• updating network configuration for the second plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the second computing system rack.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by one or more computer processors, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on the one or more computer processors, causes the one or more computer processors to:

• upload a system-wide network configuration file to a first controller node and a second controller node, wherein a first plurality of nodes is communicatively connected together in a first computing system rack, a second plurality of nodes communicatively connected together in a second computing system rack, the first plurality of nodes includes the first controller node, and the second plurality of nodes includes the second controller node;
• identify network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes in a system-wide network configuration file as being part of the first computing system rack;
• update network configuration for the first plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the first computing system rack;
• identify network configuration information for the second plurality of nodes in the system-wide network configuration file as being part of the second computing system rack;
• and
• update network configuration for the second plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the second computing system rack.
