CLOUD-BASED DYNAMIC PLUGIN DISTRIBUTION
An information handling system may include at least one processor and a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor. The information handling system may be configured to: provide an administrator with access to a patch management system via a patch service portal; receive information from a target datacenter regarding a particular item of software executing at the target datacenter; based on the received information, determine that an upgrade from an existing version to a new version of the particular item of software is available; and deploy the upgrade from the patch management system to a selected subset of information handling systems within the target datacenter, such that the selected subset is upgraded to the new version, and such that a non-selected subset of the information handling systems within the target datacenter continues executing the existing version.
1 . An information handling system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor;
wherein the information handling system is configured to:
provide an administrator with access to a patch management system via a patch service portal;
receive information from a target datacenter regarding a particular item of software executing at the target datacenter;
based on the received information, determine that an upgrade from an existing version to a new version of the particular item of software is available; and
deploy the upgrade from the patch management system to a selected subset of information handling systems within the target datacenter, such that the selected subset is upgraded to the new version, and such that a non-selected subset of the information handling systems within the target datacenter continues executing the existing version.
2 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the particular item of software is a microservice.
3 . The information handling system of claim 2 , wherein the upgrade comprises a replacement of the microservice.
4 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the target datacenter comprises a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster.
5 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the existing version and the new version comprise a common interface, such that the selected subset and the non-selected subset are configured to interoperate with one another.
6 . The information handling system of claim 1 , further configured to receive the upgrade from an administrator via the patch service portal.
7 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the patch service portal executes within a demilitarized zone (DMZ) of a cloud system.
8 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein, in response to a detected problem with the new version, the information handling system is configured to roll back the upgrade on the selected subset.
9 . A method comprising:
an information handling system providing an administrator with access to a patch management system via a patch service portal;
the information handling system receiving information from a target datacenter regarding a particular item of software executing at the target datacenter;
based on the received information, the information handling system determining that an upgrade from an existing version to a new version of the particular item of software is available; and
the information handling system deploying the upgrade from the patch management system to a selected subset of information handling systems within the target datacenter, such that the selected subset is upgraded to the new version, and such that a non-selected subset of the information handling systems within the target datacenter continues executing the existing version.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising: in response to an administrator instruction, subsequently deploying the upgrade from the patch management system to the non-selected subset.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the particular item of software is a microservice.
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the target datacenter comprises a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster.
13 . An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by an information handling system for:
providing an administrator with access to a patch management system via a patch service portal;
receiving information from a target datacenter regarding a particular item of software executing at the target datacenter;
based on the received information, determining that an upgrade from an existing version to a new version of the particular item of software is available; and
deploying the upgrade from the patch management system to a selected subset of information handling systems within the target datacenter, such that the selected subset is upgraded to the new version, and such that a non-selected subset of the information handling systems within the target datacenter continues executing the existing version.
14 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the particular item of software is a microservice.
15 . The article of claim 14 , wherein the upgrade comprises a replacement of the microservice.
16 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the target datacenter comprises a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster.
17 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the existing version and the new version comprise a common interface, such that the selected subset and the non-selected subset are configured to interoperate with one another.
18 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the code is further for receiving the upgrade from an administrator via the patch service portal.
19 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the patch service portal executes within a demilitarized zone (DMZ) of a cloud system.
20 . The article of claim 13 , wherein, in response to a detected problem with the new version, the information handling system is configured to roll back the upgrade on the selected subset.
