Abstract
An update system is provided that generates a service list of services and sorts the services in the service list from least dependent services to most dependent services. Services that are unaffected by updates as determined based on the sorting are removed. An update runbook is generated with steps for updating the services. An order of the steps is based on the sorted service list, and the steps indicate target services, hosting machines and actions to perform on target services.
