Scaled firmware deployment based on observable health markers

A computer system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• a) discover a plurality of nodes within a data center;
• b) cluster the plurality of nodes into groups based on selectable parameters;
• c) deploy firmware to selected nodes or clusters based on a policy manifest;
• d) monitor firmware stability on the selected nodes by collecting device data from each selected node;
• e) analyze the collected device data to detect one or more errors;
• and
• f) when no errors are detected, deploy the firmware to a larger cluster of nodes according to the policy manifest.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for operation of a computer system, comprising code to:

• a) discover a plurality of nodes within a data center;
• b) cluster the plurality of nodes into groups based on selectable parameters;
• c) deploy firmware to selected nodes or clusters based on a policy manifest;
• d) monitor firmware stability on the selected nodes by collecting device data from each selected node;
• e) analyze the collected device data to detect one or more errors;
• and
• f) when no errors are detected, deploy the firmware to a larger cluster of nodes according to the policy manifest.
