Systems and methods for update propagation between nodes in a distributed …

This system helps automatically update components in a cloud computing setup. It works by having a small program run when a machine starts up, which then schedules a second program to perform the actual updates. This second program figures out what needs updating, the correct order, and installs the new versions. The patent specifically describes using a CRON job for scheduling and placing the initial program in a boot folder.

Why it matters: The landscape for IaaS automation has matured significantly since 2018 with the rise of Infrastructure as Code and GitOps. While the need for automated updates persists, current cloud orchestration platforms often provide more integrated and sophisticated mechanisms than a boot-scheduled CRON job.
