Abstract: An example method of upgrading an application in a software-defined data center (SDDC) includes: deploying, by lifecycle management software executing in the SDDC, a second appliance, a first appliance executing services of the application at a first version, the second appliance having services of the application at a second version, the services in the first appliance being active and the services in the second appliance being inactive; setting, by the lifecycle management software, the first and second appliances as a preemptive pair, where the first appliance is protected and the second appliance is unprotected by fault domain management (FDM) software executing in the SDDC; performing, by the lifecycle management software, a switchover to stop the services of the first appliance and start the services of the second appliance; and setting, by the lifecycle management software, the first appliance as unprotected and the second appliance as protected by the FDM software.
