1. A method for managing a multi-node, hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster, the method comprising:
provisioning a central manager of the HCI cluster, communicatively coupled to each node in the HCI cluster via a cluster management network, with an event listening service; and
registering the event listening service with an agent in each node in the HCI cluster, wherein the event listening service, when triggered by detecting a management network configuration event indicative of a management network configuration change, causes the agent to perform management network configuration operations to modify a management network configuration of the node in accordance with the management network configuration change.
