    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for software lifecycle management of a virtual computing environment are disclosed. An example method includes determining, by executing an instruction with a processor, a plurality of software updates to be installed on physical computing resources in the virtual server rack system, the determining based on a manifest file received from a software manager associated with the virtual server rack system, determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, dependency requirements for installing the software updates identified in the manifest file, determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, an order for installation of the software updates to meet dependency requirements, and scheduling, by executing an instruction with the processor, installation of the software updates identified in the manifest file.

    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for updating schema of a database, execution of an application in a computing environment is initiated, where the application persists data in a database, and where the schema of the database is updatable responsive to an update of the application. Responsive to determining that the schema is updated, a first instance of the schema executing in the database is received, a second instance of the schema maintained in the application is received, the first instance of the schema is compared to the second instance of the schema, a difference between the first instance of the schema and the second instance of the schema is determined, and the first instance of the schema is updated to incorporate the difference between the first instance of the schema and the second instance of the schema.

    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for maintaining unallocated hosts of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device at a baseline operating system version, a plurality of hosts of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device is managed, where the plurality of hosts are allocable to workload domains, where the plurality of hosts each have an operating system version within a range of supported operating system versions, where unallocated hosts of the plurality of hosts are maintained within a pool of unallocated hosts, and where the unallocated hosts of the pool of unallocated hosts have a baseline operating system version of the range of supported operating system versions. A new unallocated host is received at the pre-configured hyper-converged computing device for inclusion to the pool of unallocated hosts. An operating system version of the new unallocated host is determined. Provided the new unallocated host has an operating system version other than the baseline operating system version, the new unallocated host is updated to the baseline operating system version. The new unallocated host is released to the pool of unallocated hosts for allocation to a workload domain.

    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for managing hosts of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device, a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device comprising a plurality of hosts is managed, where the plurality of hosts is allocable to workload domains, where unallocated hosts of the plurality of hosts is maintained within a pool of unallocated hosts, and where the plurality of hosts each have an operating system version. An unallocated host of the pool of unallocated hosts is determined as having an operating system version that is outside of a range of supported operating system versions. The operating system version of the unallocated host is updated to an operating system version within the range of supported operating system versions.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for version aliasing mechanisms and cumulative upgrades for software lifecycle management are disclosed. An example method includes cumulating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a plurality of software updates identified in a first manifest file with a plurality of software updates identified in a second manifest file, the second manifest file corresponding to a version older than a version corresponding to the first manifest file; and flagging the cumulative manifest files as cumulative, the cumulative manifest file containing a plurality of software updates that update the old version to the new version.

    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for upgrading services of a software-based service according to a predefined sequence to account for dependencies between services. An upgrade package that includes a manifest defining an order for upgrading services of the software-based system is retrieved. Each service is upgraded according to the sequence and a status log is modified following each upgrade to include a unified status summary associated with all services being upgraded.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for software lifecycle management of a virtual computing environment. An example method includes determining if sufficient computing resources for installing the software are available in a virtual environment in the virtual rack system, when sufficient computing resources are not available in the virtual environment, identifying a spare computing resource that is available for use during installation of the software, adding the spare computing resource to the virtual environment, migrating a workload that is executing on a current computing resource to the spare computing resource, and installing the software on the current computing resource.
