Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide for rules-based deployment of software installations. In some aspects, operational parameters for a computer system are monitored over time to generate a historical database of values for the operational parameters. The computer system may include multiple instances of a software installation. A portion of the multiple instances is updated with a new version of software. The operational parameters are then monitored to quantify whether the new version results in an improvement or degradation of performance of the computer system. The improvement or degradation is based on comparing values of the operational parameters after deployment to their historical values. Depending on the evaluation of the operational parameters after the installation, the installation may be rolled back if a degradation is indicated. Otherwise, the new software version may be propagated to additional installation instances.
