1. An information handling system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor;
wherein the information handling system is configured to:
receive telemetry data from a plurality of information handling systems disposed at one or more datacenters, wherein the plurality of information handling systems comprise hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) systems;
determine, based on the telemetry data, one or more drifted information handling systems that differ from other information handling systems in the plurality of information handling systems according to a drift that comprises a difference in software version, wherein the one or more drifted information handling systems are peer systems of the other information handling systems and previously did not differ from the other information handling systems in the plurality of information handling systems according to the drift; and
present a user interface indicating the one or more drifted information handling systems and providing a user interface element configured to remedy the drift of the one or more drifted information handling systems by initiating a lifecycle management event in response to actuation by a user;
wherein the user interface is configured to indicate the plurality of information handling systems by displaying a first group including the one or more drifted information handling systems and a second group including the other information handling systems, wherein the user interface is further configured to expose an action with respect to the first group but not the second group, wherein the action is applicable to the one or more drifted information handling systems but is not applicable to the other information handling systems.
