Abstract
The invention discloses a method, system, and computer program product for service update management. The method, during a first update procedure for a first service in a computing system, in response to a detection that the first update procedure fails, a state of a second service on which the first service depends in the computing system is checked. In response to the second service being in a first state, the first update procedure is suspended. Resources allocated to the first update procedure by the computing system are released. The released resources are allocated to the second update procedure of the second service. The second update procedure is implemented based on the allocated released resources. With these embodiments, failures during the update procedures for the services may be automatically detected and removed based on a dependency relationship between the services. Therefore, the performance of the update procedures may be increased.
