US Patent 11544073 Software deployment over communication fabrics

Software configuration deployment techniques for disaggregated computing architectures, platforms, and systems are provided herein. In one example, a method includes presenting a user interface configured to receive instructions related to deployment of software to compute units, and receiving user selections of a software element for deployment to a compute unit comprising a processing element and a storage element. Responsive to the user selections, the method includes instructing a management processor of a communication fabric to deploy the software element for use by the compute unit by at least establishing a first partitioning in the communication fabric between the management processor and the storage element, deploying the software element to the storage element using the first partitioning, de-establishing the first partitioning, and establishing a second partitioning in the communication fabric between the processing element and the storage element comprising the software element, wherein the processing element operates using the software element.
