    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for intra-footprint computing cluster bring-up within a virtual private cloud. A network connection is established between an initiating module and a virtual private cloud (VPC). An initiating module allocates resources of the virtual private cloud including a plurality of nodes that correspond to members of a to-be-configured computing cluster. A cluster management module having coded therein an intended computing cluster configuration is configured into at least one of the plurality of nodes. The members of the to-be-configured computing cluster interoperate from within the VPC to accomplish a set of computing cluster bring-up operations that configure the plurality of members into the intended computing cluster configuration. Execution of bring-up instructions of the management module serve to allocate networking IP addresses of the virtual private cloud. The allocated networking IP addresses of the virtual private cloud are assigned to networking interfaces of the plurality of nodes.

    Abstract: Examples of systems described herein may include virtualized computing environments having one or more upgrade management agents. An upgrade management agent may detect current versions of multiple components in a computing system, including at least one software component and at least one firmware component, obtain a group of updates based on the current versions of the multiple components, and schedule installation of the group of updates including grouping together installation of selected ones of the group of updates for a particular computing node of the computing system, wherein the selected ones each utilize a particular state change of the computing node during the installation. The schedule may also be selected to accommodate dependencies between multiple components which are resolved by the upgrade management agent to obtain the schedule.
