Publication number: 20240095060Abstract: Systems and methods are taught for providing customers of a cloud computing service to control when updates affect the services provided to the customers. Because multiple customers share the cloud's infrastructure, each customer may have conflicting preferences for when an update and associated downtime occurs. Preventing and resolving conflicts between the preferences of multiple customers while providing them with input for scheduling a planned update may reduce the inconvenience posed by updates. Additionally, the schedule for the update may be transmitted to customers so that they can prepare for the downtime of services associated with the update.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jiaxing ZHANG, Thomas MOSCIBRODA, Haoran WANG, Jurgen Aubrey WILLIS, Yang CHEN, Ying YAN, James E.
