Abstract
A networking-device-based HCI edge controller system includes a networking device coupled to a master controller system via a network, as well as locally to an HCI node system including HCI node(s). The networking device and the HCI node system are provided at an edge location in a network, and the networking device operates to identify HCI node components that are included in the HCI node(s) in the HCI node system, and retrieve respective software inventory information for each of the HCI node component in the HCI node(s). The networking device receives first updated software from the master controller system via the network, determines that the respective software inventory information for at least one of the HCI node components does not comply with the first updated software for those HCI node components and, in response, provides the first updated software on those HCI node components.
