Device-driven auto-recovery using multiple recovery sources
Examples for device-driven auto-recovery using multiple recovery sources are disclosed herein. At least one storage device or storage disk includes instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least detect a flaw in a first configuration of a program to be installed on a programmable device, the first configuration recorded on a first chain of a distributed ledger of a blockchain; correct the flaw in the first configuration to generate a corrected configuration; commit the corrected configuration to the distributed ledger, the corrected configuration to create a second chain of the distributed ledger; detect an update of the first configuration to a first updated configuration and an update to the corrected configuration to an updated corrected configuration; and prevent the first updated configuration from being installed on the programmable device by replacing the first updated configuration with the updated corrected configuration on the second chain.
1. A method for preventing a flawed configuration of a program from being installed on a programmable device, the method comprising:
detecting, by executing an instruction with a processor, a flaw in a first configuration of a program to be installed on a programmable device, the first configuration recorded on a first chain of a distributed ledger of a blockchain;
correcting, by executing an instruction with the processor, the flaw in the first configuration to generate a corrected configuration of the program;
committing, by executing an instruction with the processor, the corrected configuration of the program to the distributed ledger, the corrected configuration to create a second chain of the distributed ledger;
detecting, by executing an instruction with the processor, an update of the first configuration of the program on the first chain to a first updated configuration and an update to the corrected configuration of the program on the second chain to an updated corrected configuration; and
preventing, by executing an instruction with the processor, the first updated configuration from being installed on the programmable device by replacing the first updated configuration with the updated corrected configuration on the second chain.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein correcting the flaw includes rolling back the first configuration of the program on the first chain to a non-flawed configuration based on the first configuration.
3. The method of claim 2 , further including generating the corrected configuration based on the non-flawed configuration of the first configuration.
4. The method of claim 1 , further including committing a third configuration of the program to the second chain.
5. The method of claim 4 , further including identifying the second chain as a valid chain based on the commitment of the third configuration to the second chain.
6. The method of claim 1 , further including detecting the flaw based on a failure of the programmable device to transmit a signal within a threshold time period after the programmable device is updated with the first configuration of the program.
7. A machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:
detect a flaw in a first configuration of a program to be installed on a programmable device, the first configuration recorded on a first chain of a distributed ledger of a blockchain;
correct the flaw in the first configuration to generate a corrected configuration of the program;
commit the corrected configuration of the program to the distributed ledger, the corrected configuration to create a second chain of the distributed ledger;
detect an update of the first configuration of the program on the first chain to a first updated configuration and an update to the corrected configuration of the program on the second chain to an updated corrected configuration; and
prevent the first updated configuration from being installed on the programmable device by replacing the first updated configuration with the updated corrected configuration on the second chain.
8. The machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to correct the flaw by rolling back the first configuration of the program on the first chain to a non-flawed configuration based on the first configuration.
9. The machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to generate the corrected configuration based on the non-flawed configuration of the first configuration.
10. The machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to commit a third configuration of the program to the second chain.
11. The machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed cause the at least one processor to identify the second chain as a valid chain based on the commitment of the third configuration to the second chain.
12. The machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk of claim 7 , wherein the corrected configuration and the updated corrected configuration are in respective bundles of the second chain.
13. The machine readable solid state memory or optical disk or magnetic disk of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to detect the flaw based on a failure of the programmable device to transmit a signal within a threshold time period after the programmable device is updated with the first configuration of the program.
14. A system comprising:
memory including instructions; and
at least one processor to:
detect a flaw in a first configuration of a program to be installed on a programmable device, the first configuration recorded on a first chain of a distributed ledger of a blockchain;
correct the flaw in the first configuration to generate a corrected configuration of the program;
commit the corrected configuration of the program to the distributed ledger, the corrected configuration to create a second chain of the distributed ledger;
detect an update of the first configuration of the program on the first chain to a first updated configuration and an update to the corrected configuration of the program on the second chain to an updated corrected configuration; and
prevent the first updated configuration from being installed on the programmable device by replacing the first updated configuration with the updated corrected configuration on the second chain.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is to correct the flaw by rolling back the first configuration of the program on the first chain to a non-flawed configuration based on the first configuration.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is to generate the corrected configuration based on the non-flawed configuration of the first configuration.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is to commit a third configuration of the program to the second chain.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the at least one processor is to identify the second chain as a valid chain based on the commitment of the third configuration to the second chain.
19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the corrected configuration and the updated corrected configuration are in respective bundles of the second chain.
20. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is to detect the flaw based on a failure of the programmable device to transmit a signal within a threshold time period after the programmable device is updated with the first configuration of the program.
