Abstract

Methods and apparatus for software lifecycle management of a virtual computing environment. An example method includes determining if sufficient computing resources for installing the software are available in a virtual environment in the virtual rack system, when sufficient computing resources are not available in the virtual environment, identifying a spare computing resource that is available for use during installation of the software, adding the spare computing resource to the virtual environment, migrating a workload that is executing on a current computing resource to the spare computing resource, and installing the software on the current computing resource.
