Systems and methods for automated and distributed configuration of computing devices

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform:
• determining services to be installed onto the computing device;
• receiving a configuration file including configuration parameters associated with multiple services of a platform deployment;
• identifying sections of the configuration file corresponding to the determined services;
• writing each of the sections of the configuration file in one or more appropriate sections of the memory of the computing device, wherein at least a subset of the sections of the configuration file are also written onto at least a subset of the other computing devices belonging to a same cluster as the computing device;
• implementing each of the services on the computing device to effectuate a mirror of the platform deployment on the computing device;
• and
• receiving, from a second computing device within the same cluster, an indication of a data change command associated with the configuration file;
• establishing a consensus with a majority of the other computing devices regarding an order of the data change command, relative to other data change commands;
• replicating the data change command in a log of the computing device such that the data change command is incorporated in a same relative order at the log of the computing device and at a second log of the second computing device.
