Software versioning for network connected devices

Abstract:

A computing system includes a logic subsystem and memory storing instructions executable by the logic subsystem. The instructions are executable by the logic subsystem to store, in the memory, a plurality of software models that each describe aspects of a network connected device or a software service, the plurality of software models comprising a first version of a selected software model. The logic subsystem is configured to receive a second version of the selected software model and validate the second version of the selected software model via validation logic by applying one or more versioning rules to the second version of the selected software model. Based on the application of the one or more versioning rules, the logic subsystem is configured to execute a versioning action on the selected software model.
