Abstract
Instances of an application pod may be deployed to many different computing environments spanning native cloud installations, SaaS providers, and on-premise data centers. In order to make uniform changes to a distribution of an application pod, a lock manager may receive and schedule lock requests from many different types of utilities. These utilities may schedule exclusive locks on the application pod throughout the different computing environments, such that patches, updates, security protocols, and other changes may be instituted without interference from changes made concurrently by other utilities. The lock manager may schedule immediate and future locks, with lock extensions and lock overrides available for flexibility.
