  • Automated configuration of distributed computing systems
    Patent number: 10243788
    Abstract: A system and method may be used to automatically configure a distributed computing system. The method may be used to configure an unconfigured computing device for distributed computing in the distributed computing system. At the unconfigured computing device, a contact token comprising contact information may be received. At a processor of the unconfigured computing device, the contact information may be used to initiate transmission of a configuration data request to a first configured computing device of a plurality of configured computing devices that have been configured for distributed computing in the distributed computing system.
