Abstract: One or more software products/services may be installed on a cloud deployment. Product versions of such services can be upgraded (or rolled back) based on a deployment plan comprising tasks adapted to reach a target deployment state. A central upgrade server can forward tasks to an upgrade agent for execution, the tasks being based on a current operational state of the cloud deployment (obtained by the upgrade agent) and one or more constraints. In multiple node deployments, some nodes may be upgraded to a new product version, while other nodes are kept at a current product version until stability of the new product version is determined. Traffic across nodes can be shaped to ensure a deployment is healthy before upgrading other nodes/deployments. If the health of a node/deployment does not meet specified criteria, an upgrade can be stopped, an alert can be triggered, and the node/deployment can be rolled back.

Abstract: Systems for processing requests to execute a program code of a user use a message queue service to store requests when there are not enough resources to process the requests. The message queue service distributes the stored requests across multiple queues; each queue is associated with a context of the underlying events that generate the requests.

Thus, queued messages are divided into different queues based on user ID, event source or location, event type, etc. The message queue service then selects from the queues when requested to deliver a queued request. This provides a balanced delivery of requests from different requestors or groups of requestors.
