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.

The disclosure provides an approach for the dynamic configuration of virtualized objects. A virtual object may be associated with a desired state defining a first plurality of resources for allocating to the virtual object. The first plurality of resources correspond to one or more resource types. Techniques include determining that each of a plurality of hosts does not have sufficient available resources to allocate the first plurality of resources to the virtual object according to the desired state. Techniques include selecting, a first host of the plurality of hosts to run the virtual object. Techniques include allocating a second plurality of resources to the virtual object from the first host, wherein the second plurality of resources is less than the first plurality of resources, and running the virtual object in the first host.
