Abstract: A cloud service for managing an agent platform appliance is configured to issue commands to an agent platform management agent deployed on the agent platform appliance to upgrade the agent platform appliance to a desired version. Upon receipt of this command, the agent platform management agent carries out a method of updating the agent platform appliance, which includes: determining that a current version of the agent platform appliance does not match the desired version, determining connectivity to a repository that stores bits for updating the agent platform appliance to the desired version, requesting a first agent to perform a first pre-update check and a second agent to perform a second pre-update check, and after the first pre-update check and the second pre-update check have passed, requesting an appliance management service running on the agent platform appliance to perform an update of the agent platform appliance to the desired version.
