Abstract

A technology is provided for managing maintenance operations in a distributed system. Maintenance operations of a plurality of hosts may be tracked in a service provider environment via a maintenance management service. The plurality of hosts are queried to determine availability of each of the plurality of hosts. A schedule for the maintenance operations of the plurality of hosts may be generated based at least in part on the availability of the plurality of hosts and a policy that manages when hosts are allowed to perform maintenance operations. Instructions from the maintenance management service may be sent to the plurality of hosts to schedule the maintenance operations of the plurality of hosts using the schedule.
