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: In a computer-implemented method for allocating a host of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device to a workload domain, a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device including a plurality of hosts is managed, wherein the plurality of hosts is allocable to workload domains. A pool of unallocated hosts of the plurality of hosts is managed within the pre-configured hyper-converged computing device, wherein hosts of the pool of unallocated hosts have associated hypervisor versions. An allocation request to allocate at least one host of the pool of unallocated hosts to a workload domain is received, the allocation request including a requested hypervisor version of at least one host upon allocation. The at least one host is updated to the requested hypervisor version of the allocation request while the at least one host is in the pool of unallocated hosts.
