Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for cross-cloud hybrid services upgradability. In one embodiment, a virtual network operations center (NOC) with a centralized view of distributed, cross-cloud hybridity manager installations is responsible for continuously gathering information on the environments of on-premise and cloud computing systems, analyzing the gathered information to identify upgrades to hybridity manager instances that are compatible with dependent components and paired hybridity manager(s), and publishing notifications of compatible upgrades to the hybridity manager instances based on the analysis. The publishing of upgrade notifications by the virtual NOC is a server-initiated upgrade that is coordinated across hybrid cloud computing system sites, in contrast to traditional isolated client-initiated upgrades. In addition, the virtual NOC may revoke previous notifications if the associated upgrade versions are no longer compatible with the dependent components and/or the paired hybridity managers.
