Example implementations includes a systems and methods for viral discovery and installation for distributed networks. A master node in a first subnet of a network broadcasts an auto-discovery request and receives information identifying a first node in the first subnet. The master node initializes a first proxy data router configured to forward the auto-discovery request to a second subnet of the network. The master node receives information identifying a second node in the second subnet and may issue commands for execution on the second node, such as further proxy data router initialization or configuration updates for installation on the second subnet.

Viral system discovery and installation for distributed networks

A single-geo system includes a network configuration generator and a first computing system rack, or a multi-geo system includes a network configuration generator, a first computing system rack, and a second computing system rack are described. The system receives network information for a first plurality of nodes and a second plurality of nodes, and generates a system-wide network configuration file including network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes and the second plurality of nodes. Each plurality of nodes includes a controller node to receive the system-wide network configuration file, identify network configuration information for this plurality of nodes in the system-wide network configuration file as being part of the computing system rack, and update network configuration for this plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the computing system rack.

Distributed computing system configuration

An example implementation includes a system having a network configuration generator, a first computing rack, and a second computing rack. The network configuration receives network configuration information for a first plurality of nodes and a second plurality of nodes, and generates a network configuration file including network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes and the second plurality of nodes. The first plurality of nodes includes a first configuration node to receive the network configuration file, identify network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes in the network configuration file as being part of the first computing rack, and update network configuration for the first plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the first computing rack.
