US Patent 11474582 Automated validation of power topology via power state transitioning

Systems and techniques that facilitate automated validation of power topology are provided. In various embodiments, a control component can transmit a transition command to a power-distribution node of a data center, wherein the transition command can cause an outlet of the power-distribution node to transition between power states. In various aspects, a verification component can verify that a power-consumption node of the data center is connected to the outlet by comparing a pre-transition power characteristic of the power-consumption node with a post-transition power characteristic of the power-consumption node.
