  • Zero-downtime cloud connector upgrades
    Patent number: 10021171
    Abstract: Presented herein are zero-downtime upgrade techniques for cloud connector/extension software components. In particular, an on-premises node that runs a first version of a cloud connector software component, receives a second version of the cloud connector software component from a cloud-based software platform. The second version of the cloud connector software component is installed and initialized at the on-premises node such that the first and second versions of the cloud connector software component run in parallel at the on-premises node. Management of the subscriptions of the on-premises services to the cloud-based software platform is then transferred from the first version of the cloud connector software component to the second version of the cloud connector software component.
