  • Patent number: 12118349
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining, at an operator executed on a server that is separate from an application, whether to perform an update of the application. The operator may perform an upgrade precheck when it is determined that the update to the application is to be performed. The precheck may include determining whether a database migration is to be performed as part of the update to the application, and receiving an update mode and an update type to determine the upgrade to the application. The operator may provide to the application via an application program interface (API), one or more application shutdown configuration parameters for the update based on the received update mode and update type of the upgrade precheck. The operator may deploy the update to the application based on the determined update mode and update type.

  • Patent number: 11544052
    Abstract: A method that includes identifying a declarative deployment file defining a deployment configuration for multiple logical single-tenant system stacks supported by a compute container system, where the deployment configuration includes a set of deployment criteria and a failure threshold. The method may further include determining, based on the set of deployment criteria, a set of deployment groups for implementing one or more system updates, where the set of deployment groups includes a first deployment group and the first deployment group includes a first set of logical single-tenant system stacks from the multiple logical single-tenant system stacks supported by the compute container system. The method may further include implementing the one or more system updates for the set of deployment groups based on the failure threshold.

  • Patent number: 11281452
    Abstract: A compute container system may support logical partitions for various single tenant systems. These logical partitions may be referred to as logical single-tenant system stacks. An operator or release manager for a logical partition may identify a declarative deployment file defining a deployment configuration for one or more of a plurality of logical single-tenant system stacks. The operator may determine a deployment schedule for implementing one or more system updates for the plurality of logical single-tenant system stacks based on the declarative deployment file and implement the system updates based on the determined deployment schedule.
