Online updating of an edge device operating in a secure computing environment

An edge device comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory that executes the instructions by performing the steps of:
• receiving, in a secure computing network, update data from a second device indicating an updated configuration;
• signaling availability of the updated configuration from a first service to a second service on the edge device;
• triggering, by the second service responsive to an update request, an update process based on the updated configuration;
• retrieving a signed lockbox file from a repository in a public network separate from the secure computing network;
• validating the signed lockbox file and updating the edge device using update files extracted therefrom;
• and
• communicating a completion notification to the second device.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• receiving, by an edge device in a secure computing network, update data from a second device indicating an updated configuration;
• signaling availability of the updated configuration from a first service to a second service on the edge device;
• triggering, by the second service responsive to an update request, an update process based on the updated configuration;
• retrieving a signed lockbox file from a repository in a public network separate from the secure computing network;
• validating the signed lockbox file and updating the edge device using update files extracted therefrom;
• and
• communicating a completion notification to the second device.
