In some examples, a server receives configuration data from a device. The server receives a software or firmware update from a vendor and determines, based on the configuration data, that the update is installable on the device. The server creates and configures a container, based on the configuration data, to create a replica of the device. The server installs the update in the replica and performs multiple tests that generate logs. If the logs indicate that the update caused no issues, the server sends the update to the device. If the logs indicate that the update caused an issue, the server sends the update to the vendor. In response, the server receives, from the vendor, a modified update that addresses the issue, installs the modified update in the replica, performs the tests, determines that the modified update causes no issues, and sends the modified update to the device.

Verifying a software or firmware update using a container before deploying to a client

A computing device includes a chassis and a processor. The processor obtains a computing device identifier from a removable component disposed in the chassis. The processor makes a determination that the removable component is bound to a second computing device based on the obtained computing device identifier. In response to the first determination, the processor disables the removable component.
