Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
receiving, via at least one processor, an indication of an updated container;
identifying, via the at least one processor, one or more compute surfaces of a plurality of computing surfaces comprising a first container and a second container that correspond to the updated container, wherein the first container is configured to control one or more operations of an operational technology (OT) device and the second container is configured to perform digital twin operations of the first container;
receiving, via the at least one processor, a plurality of machine state datasets associated with the plurality of computing surfaces;
identifying, via the at least one processor, an additional computing surface of the plurality of computing surfaces as a suitable host for the updated container based on the plurality of machine state datasets;
scheduling, via the at least one processor, a deployment of the updated container to the additional computing surface, wherein the updated container is configured to replace the digital twin operations of the second container;
receiving, via the at least one processor, expected output data associated with a digital model associated with the OT device; and
scheduling, via the at least one processor, a switchover of control of the one or more operations to the updated container based on the expected output data.
