US Patent 12061574 Updating edge nodes in distributed computing environments using partitions

Edge nodes in distributed computing environments can be updated according to some aspects described herein. For example, a first node in the distributed computing environment can receive an update request from a management node. The update request can include an update file for updating a second node. In response to receiving the update request, the first node can generate a first partition and a second partition, containing the update file, within the first node. Additionally, the first node can generate a network tunnel between the first node and the second node. The first node can mount a file system for the second node onto the first partition and a copy of the file system onto the second partition of the first node via the network tunnel. The first node also can update the file system in the second partition using the update file to generate an updated file system.
