Abstract: A computing device quarantine action system includes a computing device having a plurality of computing device components and a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) subsystem. During an initialization process, the BIOS subsystem determines a current computing device component inventory of the plurality of computing device components included in the computing device, measures a current computing device functionality of each of the plurality of computing device components, and identifies at least one computing device change between at least one of 1) a reference computing device component inventory and the current computing device component inventory, and 2) reference computing device functionalities and the current computing device component functionalities determined for each of the plurality of computing device components.

Abstract: A secure infrastructure onboarding system includes an infrastructure device with an infrastructure device wireless subsystem that it may use to perform wireless key management system discovery operations in response to initialization. A key management system includes a key management system wireless subsystem it uses to perform the wireless key management system discovery operations with the infrastructure device. The key management subsystem may then wirelessly receive an infrastructure device certificate along with an infrastructure device validation key from the infrastructure device, and validate the first infrastructure device based on the first infrastructure device certificate and the first infrastructure device validation key. In response, the key management system may wirelessly transmit a first credential generation key that is configured for use by the first infrastructure device to generate first authentication credentials.

Abstract: A cluster deployment and management system includes a networking device that is coupled to a network and to each of a plurality of node devices in a cluster system. The networking device discovers then validates using a cluster profile each of the plurality of node devices in the cluster system. The networking device may then configure itself and any other networking devices according to the cluster profile. The networking device may then configure each of the plurality of node devices according to the cluster profile and deploy one or more applications and data to the node devices. The networking device may negotiate which of at least two networking devices present on the network and may perform lifecycle management operations on the at least one of the node. The networking device performs lifecycle management on at least one of the node devices during operation of the cluster system.
