Abstract
A test environment is created for use in selecting updates for deployment to a programmable execution service ('PES') application. The test environment is created in one embodiment by replicating a production network and one or more production virtual machine instances executing the PES application. Once the test environment has been created, the test environment is utilized to test and select updates for deployment to the PES application. The updates may be selected by deploying the updates to the test environment and using the test environment to determine whether the deployed updates are compatible with the PES application, permit the PES application to continue to operate performantly, and/or permit the PES application to meet one or more business performance metrics. Once the updates have been selected, the updates may be applied to production virtual machine instances executing the PES application.
