Abstract
A method and apparatus for data driven and cluster specific version/update control. The apparatus includes an automated multi-clusters management apparatus that interfaces with a plurality of remote clusters to provide data driven version/update control on a cluster by cluster basis. Generally, operation includes collection/identification of cluster specific data pertaining to software, hardware, and cluster requirements. The cluster specific data is later compared/analyzed against multi-cluster data pertaining to software releases, hardware characteristics, and known bugs/issues for each. The results of the comparison/analysis can then be ranked according to various metrics to different possible solutions and to differentiate the less desirable results from the more desirable results. Thus, the automated multi-cluster management apparatus provides for selection of versions/updates that is dependent on the cluster specific data. Additionally, the present disclosure provides for scheduling and distribution planning for selected versions/updates.
