1. A method for managing information handling resource versions, wherein the method includes:
maintaining, on a cloud resource, one or more snapshots of one or more validated release versions for a group of components, wherein each validated release version indicates a component version for each component in the group, wherein each component version in a higher validated release version is required to be greater than or equal to a corresponding component version in a lower validated release version;
responsive to identifying, by an edge resource, an instance of the component group in a non-validated state, identifying a lowest validated release version that covers the non-validated state, wherein a validated release version covers any state in which no component version is greater than its corresponding component version in the validated release version;
upgrading the instance of the component group to a validated release version that equals or exceeds the lowest validated version; and
sending information indicative of the non-validated state from the edge to the cloud and sending information indicative of the lower validated release version to the edge resource from the cloud resource to the edge resource.
