Abstract
Techniques are provided for installing patches during upgrades. In an example, an administrator specifies an upgrade image and a patch for a computing cluster. The computing cluster verifies compatibility between the upgrade image and the patch, registers the patch, and stores the patch for later use at the cluster level. Then, at the node level, the upgrade image and the patch are applied to each node that is upgraded.
