Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses manage rolling out of updates in a network-accessible server infrastructure which operates a plurality of instances of a supporting service. The supporting service is comprised by a plurality of service portions. The instances of the supporting service each include of the service portions. The instances of the supporting service are partitioned into a plurality of slices. Each instance is partitioned to include one or more of the slices, and each slice of an instance includes one or more of the service portions. A software update is deployed to the instances by applying the software update to the slices in a sequence such that the software update is applied to a same slice in parallel across the instances containing that same slice before being applied to a next slice, and waiting a wait time before applying the software domain to a next slice in the sequencing.
